The conversations leaders avoid are often the ones that matter the most
Are you a General Manager, Senior HR leader or Functional Head in manufacturing who:
-
Lead managers who struggle to deal with people challenges so they escalate the issues to you which takes up your time?
-
Want to support your managers to build the skills and confidence to deliver constructive feedback?
-
Unsure how to hold people accountable without creating resentment?
-
Feel the pressure of leading through change while juggling competing priorities and keeping your teams engaged?
-
Is afraid of losing good employees?
If these challenges resonate with you, then this Executive Dinner is for you.
Difficult conversations don’t have to be avoided or handled poorly. With the right skills, support and practice, leaders can approach them with greater confidence, strengthening accountability, relationships and performance.
Why Brave Talk Matters?
Rising costs and supply chain volatility are squeezing manufacturing margins, increasing the pressure on leaders to lift productivity and performance
Disengaged employees are costing organisations millions of dollars in estimated lost productivity
Nearly 70% of managers still report discomfort or lack of confidence in delivering tough feedback
