Joe Tye's Programs
Topic #1: Courageous Leadership for an Age of Anxiety
“Drive fear out of the workplace” was one of the 14 points for total quality management of W. Edwards Deming. In this insightful and inspirational keynote, Joe Tye explains why, while it is impossible to drive fear out, it is possible to channel it in a positive direction toward a common purpose and shared goals. And he will share practical strategies for doing so.
Learning objectives include:
- Why leaders must distinguish between anxiety, fear, and worry, the three cognitive distortions caused in a culture of high anxiety, and why national surveys, including those conducted by Values Coach, show that managing anxiety has never been more important.
- Leadership CPR+H: Strategies to promote Courage, Perseverance, Resilience, and Hope.
- Leading through the Red Zone: Why the last 10 yards is the hardest and how the best leaders guide their teams through.
Topic #2: All Hands on Deck: Building a Culture of Ownership for the Post-Pandemic World
Peter Drucker famously said that culture eats strategy for lunch, but in today’s world, it is imperative that leaders have a strategy for building and nurturing a Culture of Ownership. In stormy seas, leaders need all hands on deck, and in this fast-paced keynote Joe Tye – who literally wrote the book on building a Culture of Ownership – shares strategies for doing so.
Learning objectives include:
- The Accountability Continuum, and why it is imperative to move from a culture of accountability toward a Culture of Ownership
- Why a crisis such as the current pandemic is the best time for an organization’s leadership to reassess, revise, and re-energize core values, and assure alignment with the personal values of team members.
- Why organizations need a Cultural Blueprint for the Invisible Architecture™ of core values, organizational culture, and workplace attitude and a practical method for creating one.
