It’s often said, with nods of wise agreement, that any organization is nothing without its people. Countless books and courses on leadership, over many decades, address this well-known and accepted axiom.

Then why are nearly 70% of all employees in the U.S. disengaged at work? Clearly, the conferences, books, courses and motivational speakers are insufficient to make a difference.

This session by Garry Ridge, (LinkedIn profile) CEO of WD-40 Company & Judith W. Umlas  (LinkedIn profile) Senior Vice President IIL & the author of The Power of Acknowledgment will look “under the hood” of one of the world’s most recognized brands, where employee engagement is above 93%, 98% say they “love to work at WD-40 Company”, and 99% say that their “opinions and values are a good fit” for WD-40 Company.

This high engagement has resulted in a company that has doubled in revenue in the last decade and is on a trajectory to double again in the next.

Garry will share his company’s “learning moments” over the course of his efforts to transform the company’s culture, beginning in 1997. Lessons and principles covered include:

  • The personal journey of every Grateful/Servant leader, and why these philosophies, and behavioral change models are critical
  • The emotional connection of a greater purpose that creates high engagement
  • How to carefully and consciously choose values that will be embedded in all aspects of leadership and employee development
  • Why investing in people who invest in themselves is a secret to succession planning and greater organizational capability
  • The difference between a “team” and a “tribe”, and why WD-40 Company strove to create a cohesive tribe that spans 15 countries where employees work
  • How company performance results are directly connected to its focus on people

What You Will Learn:

  • How to create a state of engagement for your employees
  • How to create a culture in which employee satisfaction if almost universal
  • How to retain your employees and keep them motivated
  • Understand the factors shaping the knowledge-based economy and the importance of appreciation.
  • Recognize the mindset and capabilities necessary for creating and sustaining a successful team.
  • Describe the six dimensions that matter for mission-based work.
  • Implement at least one successful leadership strategy for immediate use in their project teams.

This session will continue the conversation on how to structure a difficult conversation through communication, environment, relationships and then make a framework to launch a productive conversation that leads to action.

In the 1st part of this webinar, Dana Bernstein (LinkedIn profile)  explored IF a conversation is needed, how to speak from a position of power, and delineate the types of conversations so you can better manage your emotions.  We recommend listening to Dana’s Conflict Resolution webinar so you have a foundation before launching into this discussion.

  • You learned how to figure out why some things bother you, but roll off others’ backs
  • You learned to be better able to take control of the story you created around the “what happened” so you can actively manage outcomes
  • You learned to understand the types of conversations there are. By breaking it into an algorithm, you can better manage the pieces

Part 2 Learning outcomes:

  • You will learn how to use communication to more effective deliver your message where the person receiving the message does not go into a defensive posture
  • You will learn to create an environment where people feel safe to say anything – which leads the issue you are discussing from a conversation to an action
  • You will learn that relationships get stronger after hard conversations IF you land them correctly
  • You’ll learn a starting point to structure the conversation so it is goal-oriented

In this webinar Pri Rathnayake (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Director Analyst & Drew Kraus (LinkedIn profile) Gartner VP Analyst explore such innovations and ideas on how to create a modern knowledge management program to drive exceptional customer experiences.
