This webinar will feature research from Peter Cappelli, Professor of Management at Wharton, which considers the strategies that employers should consider in developing and managing talent.

Techniques for Using Goals to Drive Business Execution: When Just Being Smart Is Not Enough

Why can ten people with a volleyball and a net achieve teamwork in a matter of minutes at the company picnic—but fail to achieve that kind of harmony on the job?

Why do sports participants have constant feedback on their performance, yet there is often little to none in the workplace? Unfortunately, people within an organization seldom know the score or what it takes to win. When goals are clearly defined, this leads to better scorekeeping and more frequent feedback so that each employee can benefit. This webinar will show you how to take the motivation of recreation and apply those winning principles to the workplace to increase profitability and productivity.
