Do any of your leaders struggle to hold others accountable? Are your supervisors able to consistently build trust? Do your leaders get and give constructive feedback?
The Wisconsin Center for Performance Excellence — in partnership with the Performance Excellence Network and the Iowa Quality Center — is pleased to host an online webinar discussion on Thursday, January 25: “Want Accountability? Start with Empathy.” The discussion will be facilitated by Tom Esch of Esch Consulting LLC.
There are many ways to achieve an exceptional work culture. One of the most overlooked aspects of management in construction is the need to balance accountability with empathy. So often people get promoted because of technical work skills and then quickly find they lack effective people skills. This engaging presentation will highlight the “how to” of some of the most powerful work your people will ever do: hold others to a high standard of excellence + safety while maintaining a positive connection.
In this discussion, Tom will explore:
- Three proven methods for holding others accountable
- Simple ways to build trust within “tough guy” cultures
- Best practices for giving and receiving feedback
- How to lower your risks of people problems and serious injuries
- Tips for retaining your best workers
This session is Thursday, Jan 25 from 8:00-9:00 CT (optional networking and mingling 7:45-8:00) using Zoom MEETING. Grab your favorite morning liquid and solid and join us for a rich discussion. Free for WCPE/PEN members; $20 for non-members.
