    Approach Your Elephants in the Room

    Approach Your Elephants in the Room

    Increase Efficiency, Encourage Employee Empowerment, and Accelerate Business Growth

    Audience: Executives, business owners, individuals with budget responsibly. Specifically, people in these roles have bought into the mindset of “delegate what you don’t want to do,” and who invite elephants in, but are not sure how to spot them and deal with them.

    Companies are consistently at least 12% more profitable when a plan is in place and everyone is on the same page, working the plan. Yet, as leaders, we make choices every day that we think are okay for the team because avoiding the issue is easier, we don’t know how to handle the situation at hand, or we believe it’s not worth our effort. Intentionally or unintentionally overlooking the obvious problems that go unaddressed greatly impacts the health of your organization. The result is confusion, disruption, costly mistakes, lack of efficiency, and loss of accuracy and profit. This workshop aims to help you gain clarity on the elephants in your own organization, and how to correct the issues slowing down productivity, communication, and efficiency.

    Takeaways:

    • Identify the 5 most common elephants in the room, and learn how to easily spot them in your own organization and get rid of them.
    • Gain clarity around value bias and the impact it has on your business health and your profit.
    • Understand how shared meaning of value used in decision-making enables clear communication and expectations.
    • Discover how to make value-based decisions that empower you and your team.
    • Leverage awareness to respond in the moment and clearly address issues as they arise.
    • Discover the system that shows you exactly what, how, and whom to delegate to…every time.

    Key Points: 

    • Acknowledging elephants in the room frees up energy, increases efficiency, and encourages growth.
    • Elephants in the room serve a purpose, and the key to finding them often lies in what is not said or what is avoided.
    • Understanding the distinction between values and value is critical.
    • Value-based decision-making ensures everyone is on the same page 100% of the time and keeps the elephants out of the room.
