How to Build a High Performance Resilient Team in 30 DaysTraditionally building an effective team has been regarded as a long term project, a function of time and personal chemistry. Unfortunately competing in the new world economy doesn’t give a leader the luxury of time to ponder strategy or for personal chemistry to impact relationships - teams have to begin performing at the highest level in the shortest possible time to achieve plan or quota. We believe a leader can build a high performing, resilient team in 30 days or less. Using the right technology, such as survey software, to diagnose and measure team culture and effectiveness can further facilitate the speed with which organizations can achieve performance.

Who Can Use More Influence?Chronic problems that persist despite numerous efforts to eradicate them are almost always rooted in human behavior. Here’s why. In a world filled with a never-ending stream of new advances in technology and improvements in leadership methods, problems that can be solved with an invention, a well-delivered speech, or an influx of capital and equipment have already been solved. If articulating an argument or writing a check will eliminate a nagging challenge, you can bet that challenge has already been put to bed.
However, if the problem you’re facing requires a change in what people have been doing (often for years), that’s a very different matter. Behavioral-based challenges typically won’t go away with a single-pronged intervention. That’s because human behavior doesn’t change easily. It can be relatively simple to erect a building, invent a new process, or create a new policy, but to get people to change their old habits, well, now you’re facing a real challenge.

Creating a Performance Development Culture – Do You Have What It Takes?Performance appraisals have long been saddled with a negative, but often accurate image of being a meaningless or even demeaning exercise. Human Resource professionals who intuitively understand the true value and promise of performance measurement often become disillusioned by the administrative effort, lack of support throughout the organization, and “checklist” mentality that persists.

In this webinar, we will help participants evaluate their organization’s “readiness” and provide clear steps on how to implement a performance development culture that: 1) aligns to the business strategy, 2) promotes continuous feedback, 3) holds people accountable for growth and 4) utilizes technology that supports a development-focused process.

The “Truth” about Behavioral InterviewingInterviewing is the most widely used instrument in applicant screening and assessment, yet many companies do not have a sound interviewing process in place. Even if a company does have a structured interview process, they may not be performing a “true” behavior based interview. Research shows that structured, behavioral interviewing that measures candidates’ competencies and job fit motivation are the most accurate at predicting future job success. Many interviewers, however, even after going through behavioral interviewing training, revert to “gut feeling decision making.” Join Paul Glatzhofer (Project Consultant, Select International) and Fran Gross (Senior Industrial/Organizational Psychologist, The Timken Company) as they discuss “best practices” in behavioral interviewing.
