Developing Great Talent — Greatness is in Everyone if you Encourage It
Pam Bilbrey, Principle Consultant of The Table Group
Ordinary people do great things in the business environment, but these individuals
and their deeds go largely unnoticed. Excavating the hidden value of your talent
when it is buried deep within your company requires acknowledging the capacity of
people to do ordinary things extremely well and create extraordinary experiences
for your customers. To maximize your leadership impact, developing greatness in
others will help you optimize organizational results and improve your ability to
recognize and create ordinary greatness in those you lead. If you're a leader who
believes that people are the engine that drives results, this will cover how to
capture the often-overlooked power of "ordinary greatness."

High-Minded Values Drive Workplace Performance
Nancy McGaw, Deputy Director of the Business and Society Program
A passion for a value and its implementation into the daily activities of work has
been identified as the single key to business success. In many companies, a particular
value has inspired leadership vision, distinguished the company's brand, and attracted
and engaged the best talent. The power of committed talent driven by a passion for
shared values lifts workplace performance-making stretch goals attainable, retaining
market share and opening new markets. Values cost nothing but they can make everything
possible; on the other hand, the absence of values costs the organization deteriorating
commitment and performance. How do the best companies instill and reflect values
in workplace behavior and performance? This will address how some of the most successful
companies have strengthened their commitment to values and become leaders in their
industry.

''Thank God It's Monday''- How Values Transform Your Workplace
Roxanne Emmerich, President & CEO of The Emmerich Group
Do your team members begin the week with high energy, enthusiasm and productivity?
Are survivors' stress and dysfunctional viruses such as whining and gossip sabotaging
the spirit of the winning workplace you want to create? If values are left out of
the equation, your managers are not inspiring workforce transformation. And in a
knowledge economy, if your talent isn't applying everything they know, your organization
isn't running on all cylinders. This is for managers and leaders (and those who
develop managers' competencies) who want to inspire team members to bring all of
their passion, commitment, and competencies to the workplace every day.

retention. How do managers select individuals in whom to make this investment? This
will address how managers leverage and apply values to know their investment in
talent development will pay off.

Thinking Diversity: An Express Elevator to the Top of the Value Chain
Dr. Nick Pothecary, Chairman of Clear Value Vision
Thinking diversity (the different ways people think) creates an environment that
realizes "maximum value", in individuals and teams. Through a blend of competition,
co-operation and conformity, thinking diversity develops a superior results-orientation,
leveraging motivations for innovation. The speed, clarity, and accuracy of diversity
thinking cuts through the tangled web of cultural stereotypes, to provide accurate
maps of each team member's internal motivations. Compared to "cultural diversity",
thinking diversity is an "express elevator" directly linked to the value structure
of individuals and organizations. Results will be presented from thinking diversity
across cultures in the US, India and Sweden. You'll discover talent management opportunities
from leveraging value structures to enhance human relationships, team dynamics and
organizational performance.
With insights to thinking diversity, managers have the ability to honor the uniqueness
of each person in light of tasks that must be accomplished. Without such awareness,
ineffective or immature managers will either treat everyone the same way, or on
the basis of a limiting cultural stereotype or expect their direct reports to adapt
to the manager's "personality." Whether you manage talent directly or coach someone
who does, this will expand your thinking and what you contribute to team effectiveness.

Increase Performance through Learning (and Enjoyment!)
Douglas C. Adams, Ph.D, Chairman of Leadership Resources, LLC
A key component to running a business is increasing the performance of your people.
However, in almost all situations the drive for performance blinds people and they
fail to make the strides intended. Our singular focus on performance creates barriers
to the two other key components of the performance formula, learning and enjoyment.
This will cover the "why" and "how" to increase individual and team performance
through enjoyable learning. We'll explore why awareness of biases in our thinking
is key to making geometric gains in learning, enjoyment and performance. You will
learn how to develop business processes that tap learning and enjoyment, and ultimately
deliver top performance. If you're a line manager or talent development specialist,
you'll leave with actions to boost talent performance through productive thinking
and enjoyable learning.

Creating A Value Focused Business Culture
Dr. Robert K. Smith, Chairman of The Academy of Value Sciences
When you walk into a value-driven organization you know it. Interactions have inspired
energy, and people embrace a common vision driven by a shared value structure. In
organizations like these managers spark each person's motivations, teams sign up
for stretch goals and fulfilled development plans are evidence of the organization's
greatest asset- their talent. The formal science of axiology identifies the value
structure that motivates people, making it possible to succeed under pressure. On
an organizational level it creates the goal alignment to sustain a compelling vision.
If you're in HR, it will equip you with the tools to sit on the executive team.
If you're a manager, you can lead value-driven teams that achieve great results.
Organizations that do all this by design create a value-driven culture. Join us
to learn practical examples from organizations that are successful at leveraging
their value structure (and learning from unsuccessful cultures).
