Lead Like a Human: Practical Steps to Building Highly Engaged Teams with Adam Weber

Since the turn of the millennium, the workforce has changed drastically, yet many managers still feel the only way to lead effectively is to separate their humanity from work. The challenge is, new generations of employees are now craving authentic, vulnerable, HUMAN-CENTERED leadership, especially in the times we’re living in.

In this webinar, 15Five’s SVP of Community (and former CPO at Emplify) Adam Weber will dive into how to address this shift in values at work. When your employees rank culture as far more important than compensation and benefits, how do you unlock the success of your organization? It begins and ends with leading like a human.

What you’ll learn:

• How to increase employee engagement and why that differs from satisfaction
• Which parts of your people strategy are nice-to-have and what will actually boost business outcomes
• How to leverage data and measurement to prioritize, focus, and demonstrate ROI
• What growth paths look like to lead as your true, authentic self in the workplace

Gray Area Thinking® with Ellie Krug

We’ve all heard the phrase, “diversity and inclusion”, but what does it actually mean to make an organization or even our personal lives more diverse and inclusive? How can we get beyond grouping and labeling of other humans according to the color of their skin, the religion they practice, or the country in which they were born? Can we really build a just and inclusive world, especially in this time of such division?

Even more, how can we make our organizations and lives more inclusive of those who are “Other” and different from “us?” Isn’t it time to at least consider a new approach to human inclusivity—where all humans regardless of differences are valued?

Join national speaker, transgender writer and “human inclusionist” Ellen “Ellie” Krug as she talks about organizational culture and culture change and conducts her highly valued human inclusivity training, Gray Area Thinking®. This training will provide an easy-to-understand toolset on how to be more welcoming of anyone who is “Other” in our society.
