Communicating Vision and Values
This leadership workshop/retreat examines how to share the values that drive success. The performance of an organization is much more than the sum of its skills – look at best-of-breed firms in any industry, and you will find that the core values that drive your workplace are often the single biggest factor in your success.
Based around founder Rich Gallagher’s national bestseller The Soul of an Organization, our Communicating Vision and Values workshop is a retreat-style program that explores the cultures that drive self-sustaining service quality and performance, and your role as a leader in building and communicating this culture in your own work environment. Through this interactive workshop, you will look at how to combine your communications skills with the “big picture” skills of creating a vision and core cultural values to increase your organization’s own productivity, growth, employee satisfaction, and bottom line.
