From ME to WE

Six Critical Practices for an Engaged, "Can Do" Workforce That Thinks and Acts Like Business Owners

With David Lee

 

Would You Like Your Employees To:

  • Demonstrate the same commitment to excellence as you do?
  • Demonstrate more of a "Can do", "Go the extra mile" attitude?
  • Show more motivation and inspiration in their work?
  • Be even more productive without burning out?
  • Rather than focus primarily on "What have you done for me lately?" .focus on "How can I help?" and "How can I make a difference?"
  • Think and act like a team, where departments treat each other like valued customers?

Come Learn What the Best Employers and The Best Managers Do

Find out what separates organizations like Baptist Healthcare, Disney, Zappos, and Southwest Airlines from their competitors.

Learn what they do, and what do their managers do, to create such a passionate, committed, "can do" workforce where employees think and act like business owners.

...Where employees continually look for ways to contribute.

This program will show you how.

Whether you are a senior executive or a supervisor, you will be able to take these principles and practices and apply them right away.

Here's what you'll discover how to do:

  • Help employees see EXACTLY what they can do to make your business goals and initiatives a reality -- this is the "line of sight" phenomenon that most companies don't have.
  • Keep employees focused on looking for opportunities to provide value rather than "sweating the small stuff."
  • Foster initiative and "go the extra mile" behavior.
  • Discover how to help employees think like a small business owner of their jobs and like co-owners of your company, and watch their commitment, productivity, and creativity explode.
  • Reverse engineer your organization's vision, goals, and initiatives into a "Behavioral Vision" that will provide a Blueprint for "success behaviors."
  • Discover Southwest Airline's "secret sauce" that leads to employees truly caring about making a difference.
 

"I've now worked with over 150 presenters since you last were a part of MEBSR's Spring Conference, and still you stand out as the best person we've ever had come and present on how we best work with one another, increase productivity and thrive."

Sanna McKim, Executive Director

Maine Businesses for Social Responsibility, ME

 

When You Do This, This is What You Get.

You Get Employees Who:

  • Focus on highest priority tasks, rather than waste time on low value (Quadrant III and IV) activities, or visiting eBay and Youtube on company time.
  • Constantly look for ways to improve things, whether processes, cutting costs, wowing customers, improving your produces, or other value-providing activities.
  • Show initiative rather than waiting to be told what to do.
  • Go the extra mile vs. doing the bare minimum.
  • Care as much as you do about your employer's goals.
  • Demonstrate the same commitment to excellence you do.
  • Provide great internal customer service to other departments.
  • Truly demonstrate a team, "We're all in this together" Attitude.
  • Rather than focus primarily on benefits, raises, and vacation days, focus on "How can I help?" and "How can I make a difference?"

What Others Say About David Lee's Work

"Weeks after David Lee spoke to our college, people are still talking about the message he sent. One employee thanked our President and said it was a "gift to employees to hear David speak". David took the time to get to know us before he stepped foot on campus. We didn't expect the level of service that he provided. He interviewed people, sent out surveys and dug deep to find out exactly what our college needed to go from good to great. He then customized a program that fit what we needed and has been great with follow-up and feedback. It's clear he truly cares. David does more that give a great speech a leave, he transforms the culture."

Deb Carlson, PhD, Director of Institutional Research and Communication, Nebraska Methodist College: The Josie Harper Campus, NE

The value David provided our organization went far beyond the actual classroom experience. In addition to the wealth of information he provided during class, David provided a broad support system to further the development of our senior management team. Great work David; I look forward to the next chapter!

Eric Henry, Executive Director

"I've now worked with over 150 presenters since you last were a part of MEBSR's Spring Conference, and still you stand out as the best person we've ever had come and present on how we best work with one another, increase productivity and thrive."

"Having seen a lot of speakers, I can't tell you just how impressed I was by David. I even waited in line to talk with him... I learned a great deal and laughed my butt off in the process. When we have someone who is so genuine and so well prepared, we owe it to each other to spread the word.. I take it very seriously when I recommend someone else's work and. he's great!"

Naomi Judd

"I was inspired by David's presentation. As onboarding new ladies and gentlemen at the Ritz-Carlton, Hotel Company LLC is one of the cornerstones of our success, I cannot agree more with his statement that, 'Everything you do in onboarding matters'."

Diana Oreck, Vice President

Global Learning & Leadership Center, Ritz Carlton, Maryland

David Lee's presentation was outstanding. Not only was he entertaining and funny, his message was hard hitting. I've already begun to employ your recommendations and have started to write "NB Power's story". Thanks David.

Joanne Callahan, Chief Learning Officer

NB Power - Top 100 Employer Canada 2009, New Brunswick, Canada

"I just want to thank you for such a great presentation! I got feedback that this was the best conference that we ever had. (Management at the venue) e-mailed me asking for your contact information. Apparently the staff that was working that day loved your message and they want to hear more. So - don't be surprised if you hear from them!"

Anne Charles

Maine Municipal Association, Maine

"Finally, a moment to reflect on the weekend. David, you lit them on fire!!!! I cannot tell you what a difference you made with this very unique group-you helped us to turn the tide and it was an incredibly productive weekend-and it has shaped our attitude and focus for the next few years.

You helped us collectively grab our minds and put them together in such a way that we were able to miraculously define our immediate VISION without so much as an hour of brainstorming. It just happened. It would have taken 2 or 3 board meetings to do what you helped us do.

I am still in disbelief, and am really impressed with your attitude David. You have such a special gift, and you just drove it home with everyone. I will never ever forget your time with us."

Josh Libby, President

National Cued Speech Association, Washington, DC

"I learned more in this seminar than in four others I took from (a well known national seminar company)."
