All companies are perfectly designed for the results they get
New York, NY (1888PressRelease) August 26, 2014 - Imagine having a team where everyone steps up and performs all of the leadership tasks. Imagine a team that is constantly sharing knowledge and pushing the envelope-one that produces outstanding performance and plans for the long term future.
On October 3rd, authors and speakers Paul Gustavson and Stewart Liff will be discussing their new book entitled, "A Team of Leaders: Empowering Every Member to Take Ownership, Demonstrate Initiative, and Deliver Results" at the 2014 BYU Management Society Leadership Conference. Their lessons have applications for leadership teams at all levels. Gustavson and Liff state "…unless employee engagement flows from your overall work design and supporting systems and processes, you will constantly struggle with performance and engagement issues." Paul Gustavson and Stewart Liff will share how work design systems and visuals are key components to solving employee disengagement and improving team results.
