Keynote: "Don't Copy the Best"
If you’re trying to lead your team to top performance, what if you could replicate what leaders of the best organizations do? New research from Corporate Visions and Dr. Leff Bonney of Florida State University shows that this approach is NOT the way to get top performance, and it can outright backfire if you’re turning around an average or underperforming team. In this session, you’ll learn the four distinct team profiles identified in the research, and the leadership strategies that led to the best results for each one.
