There are culturally embedded ways of thinking and communicating that limit and inhibit leadership and group performance by discouraging the candid exchange of ideas and opinions. In this session, you will discover the inextricable link between culture and performance. We will open-up the power and impact of authentic communication to create cultures of high-performance. You will transform your communication through our examination of the barriers to communication and teamwork; and uncover the hidden biases that suppress performance and restrict leadership, peer-to-peer interaction, effective management, and effective “managing up”.
