The Secret to Building a High-Performance Culture

You need to move fast, adapt to a changing environment, and deliver performance, yet your team is moving too slow when it comes to making tough decisions and are avoiding the more challenging conversations that drive results. What is at the heart of high performance is culture. Unfortunately, most leaders misunderstand culture; they believe culture exists across the organization; it doesn’t. It exists primarily on teams.

In this powerful virtual or live keynote, your team will learn the results from our study of 72,000 people that is published in the Harvard Business Review, which puts your managers and people leaders at the center of building your culture. Your people will learn specific tools to own and model the culture on their team in the critical moments, what we call Last 8% moments, that create culture. The Last 8% are those tougher conversations and decisions that many people struggle with and avoid, but are the secret to driving team performance.

In this impactful program, your team will learn:

  • What the two pillars of a high performing culture are: High Connection (psychological safety) and High Courage (ability to do hard things skillfully)
  • Emotional Intelligence-based tools to be their best in Last 8% Situations
  • How to influence & engage others who are at a distance and create the conditions to keep the best and brightest

Pre-program assessment

  • JP will use the data to customize the program for your unique needs, and present data to the group to make it relevant for them By taking the assessment, it prepares the learner’s brain to think about their impact and behavior ahead of time.
  • Post program, JP will share any information we didn’t see fit for a wider audience.
