See keynotes with Marissa AftonResearch shows that women leaders generally have more engaged teams and drive better job performance. By driving more engaged employees, women leaders save their organizations $1.4MM for every 1,000 employees. Moreover, their vision of ideal leadership is more in line with what employees want: the combination of human care and business performance. However, our research shows that women generally underestimate their leadership capabilities compared to men, which leads to increased chances of burnout and an intention to quit.
This engaging session will share the eye-opening research that women leaders need to develop greater confidence in their leadership capabilities. It will also help them enhance their leadership by focusing on four drivers of leadership excellence based on research: caring presence, courage, candor and transparency.
Many leaders struggle with an either-or mentality when it comes to driving business results and caring for their people: “Either I drive performance and results at the risk of pushing my employees to disengage or even quit, or I take care of my employees at the risk of seeming too soft and ineffective.” The good news is that leaders don’t need to choose. Research shows that being a human-centered leader who balances care and performance drives the best outcomes for the business.
This interactive session will offer insights and provocative data into why and how caring leaders produce the best business results. It will also offer a simple but powerful tool to drive caring performance: the Flywheel. The Flywheel consists of four skills to practice and master: caring presence, courage, candor and transparency. Leaders will learn why these skills are critical for developing psychological safety and trust, and how to develop and utilize them in daily interactions with their people.
