Overview

More than three million Americans quit their job every month. The biggest reason given is that they didn't feel engaged in their work or by their boss. In a recent survey, 67 percent of employees report feeling disengaged from their jobs on a daily basis. That's two-thirds of the workforce! Trying to practice lean with an unmotivated, tired, overwhelmed and overworked team is impossible. This interactive session will expand upon the real reasons people are resistant to change and what you can take action on immediately to create organizational change for the better. Discover how to achieve all that lean can offer.
