What's KILLING Your Profitability?

Organizations of all sizes invest significant amounts of time, money, and energy on improving their processes with hopes of becoming more profitable. All too often though, the things that can have the most immediate impact on profitability (as well as the lives of everyone involved) are overlooked or completely written off because those things are considered to be intangible… Based on the Amazon #1 Best Seller, Wes & Cindy outline the skills leaders need to master to guide their teams effectively, how to put those skills into action, and ways to measure the results.

How Leaders Impact Recruitment & Retention

Regardless of what the economy is doing at any given time, some organizations always have a pipeline of the best candidates just waiting to come on board. More often than not, this is a result of those companies having a strong leadership culture that people want to be a part of. Not only does strong leadership attract great talent, it keeps that talent on the team and engaged! Wes & Cindy detail why people join organizations, why they leave, and provides key steps leaders at every level can take to build this into their organization and have a direct impact on recruitment & retention.

Building Buy-In Around a Clear Mission & Vision

It’s rarely difficult to find an organization’s mission statement, but that doesn’t mean the people within that organization have bought in or have an idea how what they do on a daily basis ties back to that statement. Wes & Cindy analyze examples of mission statements and challenges leaders to think into how they could apply those statements if they worked in those organizations. Wes & Cindy also shares principles to consider when developing and communicating your company’s mission and vision to the teams you lead, providing tools you can apply to ensure your mission and vision does more than just fill space in a nice frame.
