Brand Leadership is a systemic approach to healthy, productive and sustainable growth for organizations. It is the methodology behind how an organization functions in comparison to the solutions and promises it makes with all its stakeholders:
When an organization leads with its vision and executes it in a way that lives up to expectations – it extends its brand awareness – ultimately sustaining and growing marketshare. Still if a company’s vision is blind-sided by destructive employee behavior the contrary may happen – high employee turn-over, disengaged staff, inefficient systems, unhappy customers, sales decrease and the brand that carries the organization weakens. All can affect the health and bottom-line effectiveness of the organization.
A 2007 study conducted by Zogby International indicated between 54 and 71.5 million Americans are victimized by a bully at work. American businesses spend over $180 million annually in absenteeism and turnover, workers compensation claims due to stress, reduced work product, lower levels of job satisfaction, communication breakdown and even a bad reputation within the community. Learn how to avoid this devastating situation.
Attend this first-ever workshop with an overview on how to handle workplace bully issues and achieve lasting positive change through brand leadership. Continuing Education Credits are approved for the International Society for Performance Improvement as well as the International Coach Federation.
