The Dilemma: Most managers want to create cultures where their teams achieve above-and-beyond results, but for a culture to really take off teammates must encourage each other on a daily basis. The answer is in rooting for each other: having each otherās backs, appreciating strengths, and recognizing strategic behaviors.
The Research: Based his #1 bestselling book The Carrot Principle, which unveiled a 10-year, 200,000• person survey, Elton has become the preeminent authority on employee recognition. Now, he introduces us to Carrots 2.0āshowing incontrovertible evidence that todayās employees respond best when they are recognized for things they are good at and for those actions where they had to stretch.
The Result: Elton introduces audiences to new generational and industry-specific data from his 2016 proprietary survey of 14,000 working adultsāhelping managers link recognition to what is most meaningful to their employees. He introduces practical concepts that help managers encourage excellence, including ideas such as appreciation vs. recognition, effort vs. achievement, and praise vs. rewards. Chester shows how great managers lead with carrots, not sticks and in doing so achieve higher: ?Productivity ?Engagement ?Retention ?Customer Satisfaction The Audience: Designed for managers, Chester Elton has presented āCarrots 2.0ā to corporate audiences and associations worldwide. The session is typically customized to an organizationās specific recognition needs and can also include the organizationās available R&R tools.
The Dilemma: While most leaders understand their most reliable competitive advantage comes from their people, few know how to get their teams āall ināāconvincing employees to buy into the strategy theyāve put forward. If a culture is clear, positive, and strong, then people will believe what they do matters and that they can make a difference. If a culture is dysfunctionalāchaotic, combative or indifferentāemployees will spend more time thinking about why the people sitting next to them should be fired than getting fired up themselves.
