Teri R. Fisher   

Topics: Management, Motivational, Succession Planning

If a key position became vacant tomorrow, are internal candidates equipped and ready for a seamless transition – or will you be forced to recruit from the outside? Are you creating an environment where your most talented employees choose to stay and are expected to grow and add value? “Growing internal leadership has a tremendous impact on productivity, morale and revenue,” says Teri Fisher, a business consultant with a client list that includes Sun Microsystems, CitiFinancial, AIG and the CIA. “Companies like GE and McKinsey know this to be true.”

In her dynamic talk, Fisher shows how to master Succession Planning – the art of growing internal leadership – so that when a key player leaves or is promoted, you’re fully prepared. She explores the four “E’s” of visionary leadership – Empowerment, Encouragement, Environment and Emotional Intelligence – essential skills in today’s competitive business climate. Whether you’re a member of the upper management team concerned with developing leadership or an employee committed to career advancement, her talk reveals what you need to know to keep the edge over competitors and maximize personal success.

Topics include:

Win-Win or Don’t Bother
Learn winning negotiating skills by changing your approach from “position” to “collaboration.” Whether your goal is closing a business deal, gaining buy-in as a leader or navigating through individual or team conflict, you're negotiating everyday – all the time – whether you think so or not.

Secrets of Career Success
Discover the unspoken rules for achieving professional and personal success, and the hidden qualities companies look for in employees.

The Seven Pillars of Accountability
If you have a strategic plan collecting dust or employees who are playing the blame-game, there is hope. Find out how accountability will bring your strategic plan back to life and inspire employees to take on and own business challenges. Accountability is, in fact a learned skill!

The Human Element of Business Success
Discover the #1 reason why managers fail. In today’s electronic age, the human element of growing a business has never been more important. Create an energized and committed workforce in which employees welcome and seek out greater responsibility. Learn how delegation, empowerment, inspiration and employee development unleash excellence.

Move up the Strategic Spectrum
Studies confirm that most managers operate one level lower on the tactical-strategic spectrum than what’s required to be successful. Appreciate and differentiate between the "functional" and "strategic" aspects of your job. Learn to think strategically and motivate employees by helping them understand how their job connects to the vision of the company. As Studs Turkel says, "Work is a search for daily meaning as well as daily bread." Learn to spend less time managing and more time leading!
