Talk Title: Best-Self Management

What if as a leader, you were able to shorten the time needed to ramp-up every employee, increase the frequency and quality of their contributions, and retain them for much, much longer? You can. But not by doing “performance management”.

In contrast to Performance Management, Best-Self Management proposes that when leaders build cultures and institute practices that support people in being and becoming their Best Selves, then high performance and uncommon loyalty is the natural result.

Emily Diaz will share with us the philosophy of Best-Self Management as a framework for sustainable employee development. You’ll learn how to create a culture that celebrates the best in who your people are today, and supports them in learning, growing, and becoming their best over time.

You'll discover:

- The science behind this big shift in performance management

- The hidden keys to human growth and potential

- How to foster intrinsic motivation (the kind that actually works)

- How to attract the best people, retain your best performers, and maximize everyone
