Discretionary effort is the difference between the added value an employee can bring to a task, versus the minimum effort required to get by or make do, and still receive a paycheck. Each day, when an employee walks in the office door (or logs in remotely) and starts work, that employee makes a conscious decision on how hard they are going to work that day. This webinar gives you the power to improve daily touchpoints with direct reports and create a productive environment where they give you discretionary effort on a regular basis. The principles in this webinar are based on the RossBrandau Discretionary Leadership ModelTM. You’ll uncover strategies on how to:

• Create a workplace where individuals feel safe, not only physically but safe to surface the truth
• Build a workplace where employees want to come to work and are challenged and supported in their professional growth
• Assess and understand the strengths and limitations of individual personalities enabling you to better communicate on a personal basis
• Refine the process of rational alignment of all teams and employees when providing vision and direction

In your leadership position, could you use an edge to distinguish yourself from others and move your direct reports into action? This presentation will give you that needed edge. The presentation is based on the book, How to Earn the Gift of Discretionary Effort and is a deep dive into a comprehensive approach to catapulting your leadership career and turning your employees into your competitive advantage in a difficult marketplace. This presentation details how earning the gift of discretionary effort is the distinguishing characteristic of 21st century leaders. You will learn strategies that get employees to bring their A-game to work every day. Following the principles, you can move your employees from minimal effort to amazing contributions, resulting in increased profitability, superior customer service and economic sustainability for your company. It takes a special kind of leader to achieve the environment of exceptional employee experience and workplace optimization where workers naturally give discretionary effort, not just give the stereotypical second mile. This presentation teaches you how to be that special kind of leader, a charismatic leader, that gets much more than the second mile from all who work with you.
