Taking a position on polarizing societal issues feels very risky to most companies, with communicators and CEOs alike worried about potential public fallout.

Yet, the latest Gartner Communications research shows the majority of stakeholders respect and admire companies that are willing to speak out about polarizing issues, and are much more likely to take supportive actions as a result, such as purchasing, advocacy, and applying for employment.

In this webinar, Ed Cranwell  (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Principal Advisory looks deeper into these research findings and help you navigate changing stakeholder expectations.

Discussion Topics:

• The current state of stakeholder expectations
• Characteristics to consider when crafting your message
• Surprising findings on stakeholder responses and behavior

Learn:

• The debilitating impacts of anxiety, which often lead to workplace anger and aggression
• Why resilient employees suffer less anxiety and can rebound after a setback
• How to build a habituated, protective shield through proven prevention techniques

We’re in the midst of unprecedented change in how we work. From technology to global competition, we’re experiencing a breakdown in social norms which have led to a dramatic increase in anxiety, anger and aggression in the workplace.

The anxiety reported by Americans grew by 40% last year – a significant increase over recent years. The fallout of this toxic combination results in real economic and psychological costs to your workplace ecosystem including increased healthcare costs and decreased productivity.

Beyond the serious repercussions to the individual and their team, this threat puts the reputation of your company at risk. With a workforce increasingly ill-equipped to manage their emotions, what do you have in place to prevent this imminent threat to productivity?

Resilience is the foundation for emotionally strong workforces that suffer less anxiety and can rebound after a setback. The good news is that resilience can be learned; the skills of emotion control, empathy, problem solving, managing frustration, negativity and communication can be built and habituated.

Bad projects abound, and research by Project Management Institute and others has provided useful insight into the underlying causes of bad projects.

In this webinar Michael looks beyond why projects go bad and explores why bad projects are so hard to kill.

Michael explains how sunk costs, groupthink, escalation of commitment, and conflicts of interest contribute to keeping death-march projects needlessly alive.

Each of these behaviors is defined and illustrated using project stories from history (the sinking of the Titanic and the Concorde jetliner), project stories from the presenter’s own personal experience climbing some of the world’s tallest mountains (Denali, Aconcagua, and Kilimanjaro), and project stories from business (Abilene Paradox and industry-funded soda studies).

Some recently published research about the neural science underlying these behaviors is referenced and the impact of these behaviors is described and then linked to the undercutting of ethics, trust, leadership, and project success.

Walk away with a list of actions that you can take to help avoid being victimized by bad projects.

Presenter: Michael O’Brochta (LinkedIn profile) ACP, PMP  MPM is the author of How To Get Executives To Act For Project Success: Building A Strong Mutual Partnership and has managed hundreds of projects as President of Zozer Inc where Michael helps organizations raise their level of project management performance. As senior project manager at the Central Intelligence Agency, he led the project management and systems engineering training and certification program to mature practices agency-wide.  Since Michael’s recent climb of another of the world’s seven summits, he has been exploring the relationship between project management and mountain climbing

Most leadership training and learning are based on the “Look at me” or “Look at them” emulation of best practices.

In the real world, learning to lead is about a mixture of skills, attitude and depth of perception. It is challenging and difficult to learn in classroom or in emulation, simulation or lecture and exercises.

In this session, Ray will show you experience-based learning using 10 real-life situations that challenge, provoke and inspire learners to learn how to lead.

Topics covered:

• The superficial world and real world of leaders – what matters?
• Practicing the thinking processes to solve or inspire others.
• 10 methods on how to lead others to make turnaround decisions, reflections and actions, transfer of expertise, big picture thinking, nudging and many more.

One of the characteristics of great leaders is they build great teams; you cannot build a great team without great followers.

It is said that great leaders lead by example so it holds true that to develop great followers you must demonstrate great followership skills.

In this interactive webinar, David Donaldson (LinkedIn profile) PMP CTDP MCATD will discuss how by focusing on people, leaders develop great followers by stepping out of the way and allowing people to take the lead in a given situation.
