Event Description:
Optimizing Talent in an Age of Uncertainty
In an era of relentless economic uncertainty, talent shortages, and generational transitions, Central Ohio family businesses can’t afford to treat people as just another expense—they are your greatest competitive advantage and the key to preserving your legacy.
Join John Broer of Real Good Ventures for practical, family-business-specific strategies to attract, retain, and develop the right people, turn workforce challenges into growth drivers, and build a resilient organization that thrives no matter what the economy throws at you.
Discover how to solve today’s hiring and retention challenges while preparing the next generation of leaders—so your family business doesn’t just survive the next decade, it leads it.
Key discussion areas:
- Leveraging the Talent Optimization Framework as a Competitive Advantage
- Fighting the Four Forces of Disengagement and Solidifying Your Culture
- Growing Competent Managers that Develop Other People
- Making EQ and Psychological Safety a Central Part of Your Leadership DNA
- Realizing that the Apple Actually Does Fall Far from the Tree
♦ As an added feature to John’s discussion, he is making available to all participants a chance to complete the behavioral assessment from The Predictive Index (PI). This is one of the tools Real Good Ventures uses as part of larger talent optimization initiatives, and you are welcome to complete it as an enhancement to the August 4th session you are attending. Click HERE to take the assessment.
The PI assessment will take you less than 10 minutes to finish and your results will be sent to your email immediately thereafter. If you have ever completed the PI assessment in the past and have your original results, there is a section where you can upload those results using the ID number from your original report. It is best practice to work from your original PI results
