America’s C-Suites are contending with the greatest labor revolution in the last two decades, a work-in-progress, living lab for how we get things done. When the pandemic shut down offices and many businesses went remote overnight, most corporate leaders—and workers—assumed the change was just a temporary fix for a world in crisis.
Accustomed to daily flexibility, work-life balance and the time saved commuting, employees have made it clear they want a more flexible work environment moving forward.
Now, many CEOs and their executive teams are grappling with how to put work back together in a way that keeps them competitive while allowing them to hold on to their talent.
Steelcase will present global research into worker attitudes and trends driving employees back to the office—and keeping them at home.
Our world has changed, but our approach to leadership has not kept pace. The challenges surrounding Hybrid Work is a case in point. Most leaders and organizations continue to take a “command & control” approach—one that relies on traditional positional power, hierarchies, motivation, micromanagement and compliance—and employees aren’t having it. People are creative, collaborative, and filled with potential, but today are over-managed and under-led. To draw out performance at the highest level, Trust & Inspire leaders bring out the best in others, and get their very best in return. They do it on purpose, as a matter of course. In this session, NY Times & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Stephen M. R. Covey, will show us how—in a way only an experienced CEO and business practitioner can.
When a company with a high-performance culture goes remote, how do you make sure teams don’t lose their collective drive toward greatness? How do you set expectations for what work gets done and where? How do you think about the workplace as a community where people bond around a shared value? How do you prioritize the behaviors you want to shape—and then use the workplace as a tool do that? We’ll help you unpack these questions and more.
Attendees will divide into small groups for a facilitated discussion with an expert facilitator. Discussion topics may include:
