Cofounder, Crucial Learning
Coauthor, Crucial Conversations
Now more than ever, agencies are expected to hold employees to high performance standards and results. While today’s workers want maximum flexibility, flexibility without standards can lead to poor performance. But when employees are given flexibility with standards — and accountability to those standards — high performance and high growth are created. How does this work in reality? How can we hold others accountable without disrupting the workflow? Joseph Grenny will lead a discussion on the steps you can take to build a successful culture of accountability in your own work environment. As a cofounder of Crucial Learning, one of the world’s most respected learning and organization development firms, Grenny will use his expertise to help you implement accountability principles and skills into your agency with ease.
