Join thought leaders from the O.C. Tanner Institute for part one of their three-part webinar series exploring in-depth insights from the recently released 2023 Global Culture Report.

As the business landscape adjusts to new models of work and continued workplace changes, having a strong workplace community is more important than ever.

Evolving organizations that prioritize employee belonging and connection will be ideally positioned to leverage their talent and lead out on industry-changing innovation.

In part one of the series, Daniel Patterson (LinkedIn profile) of the O.C. Tanner Institute and Dr. Cristen Dalessandro (LinkedIn profile) of the O.C. Tanner Institute share their insights on how organizations can support two often-overlooked players central to the healthy workplace community: modern leaders and generalist employees.

Research reveals that the evolving demands on leaders are leaving mentors and managers stressed and underappreciated.

Generalists, those employees with diverse skillsets and interdisciplinary thinking, are also feeling the weight of feeling unsupported and unrecognized for their role in helping organizations navigate uncertainty in the workplace.

In this Global Culture Report deep-dive webinar you will:

• Explore data and perspectives from more than 40,000 employees and leaders worldwide
• Discover how integrated recognition can elevate performance and wellbeing for all employees, including leaders
• Learn practical strategies for retaining and growing the talent central to building a strong workplace community

Part 2 (Part 1 June 27th)

This presentation provides practical, easy to use tips and techniques that project managers can use immediately to help manage these difficult sponsors for optimum project success.

Part of the challenge that the Project Manager faces is having to serve so many different stakeholders and sometimes being pulled in very different directions.

We’re often taught that our “sponsor” is the person who champions the effort and provides critical support.

Indeed, the sponsor is often the one we’re to seek out for support and issue resolution throughout the project.  But what do you do when your sponsor IS the problem???

Unfortunately, sponsors can sometimes be unrealistic, overly demanding, absent/unsupportive, domineering/overbearing, erratic, unclear, or just plain weak!

The good news is that there are techniques that even a rookie project manager can use to effectively manage these difficult sponsors.

This workshop explores 3 specific varieties of the “difficult sponsor”:

• The MIA Sponsor
• The Egomaniac
• The Weakling

This presentation provides practical, easy to use tips and techniques that project managers can use immediately to help manage these difficult sponsors for optimum project success.
