We are living in a time of rapid change, volatility, and uncertainty – what experts often refer to as a “VUCA environment” - and employees and organizations are feeling the strain. Research indicates that overall stress levels are significantly higher, and frontline employees are experiencing measurably increased levels of incivility and disrespect. In this turbulent environment, stress often boils over, resulting in toxic work interactions, and increased disengagement, presenteeism, absenteeism and turnover. Research shows that employees are ten times more likely to leave due to toxic work environments than poor compensation.
In this highly interactive, data-driven, skills-focused keynote/workshop, Gregg Ward demonstrates how we can overcome these challenges by “leading with respect,” and creating Actively Respectful Cultures™ (ARCs) within our teams and organizations.
By focusing on the skills found in emotionally intelligent leadership and fostering psychologically safe environments, leaders can turn down the heat, increase employees’ sense of belonging and drive employee engagement, performance, and loyalty. Through humor, storytelling, and audience participation, Gregg shares how cultivating respect in the workplace can lead to higher levels of respect, collaboration, trust, and success.
