THE 6 CHANGE REACTIONS

Nothing is more frustrating or discouraging than trying to turn around negative environments or employees. This humorous keynote uses the metaphor of burping a baby to help leaders understand how to keep their teams from turning negative and what to do when they have already have.

PRODUCTIVITY

Productivity has two parts: how well the organization communicates priorities and how well individuals use their time. Most approaches just focus on individual time management.
