Leaders in every organization are tired. Global issues are now affecting companies of every size, and retention and engagement are critical issues on every leader’s mind. Add to that the daily rigors of managing risk and growth and it’s easy to see why many great leaders have stepped down due to stress and uncertainty. On the flip side, employees are also struggling with the stress of varying levels of uncertainty, more work, and transactional exchanges that leave them wondering if they are being valued.

If leaders and employees are both feeling exhausted, it’s no surprise that meeting in the middle has been difficult. But as Chief Vision Officer and Founder of Keystone Int’l Group Jaime Taets shares in this robust keynote, it’s the only way forward through a worldwide talent crisis that is impacting almost every organization.

Not one to step around challenges, Jaime helps participants focus on their root issues and “stop mowing the dandelions” as a quick fix. She pushes the audience to dig deep into their business challenges and opportunities for growth by bridging the gap between business needs and human needs in order to create long-term success.

Key Takeaways:

• Challenge assumptions about what leaders believe their employees want and learn tactics to drive a different stream of employee engagement conversation
• Identify communication tools and approaches to empower employees to share their perspectives and needs in a productive and effective way
• Dispel specific myths that are making the divide wider between leaders and employees
• Better align the prevailing thinking of leadership and employees and to create a culture of partnership and change
