Overview:

Are you holding meetings, conducting 1:1s, giving feedback - yet still seeing the same performance issues repeat?

Many managers and supervisors are working hard, but something isn't landing. Employees appear disengaged. Coaching conversations feel rushed or one-sided. Performance improvement plans increase, yet true development is missing. Leaders leave conversations thinking they were clear - employees leave feeling unheard.

The real issue isn't effort. It's listening.

Most managers unintentionally dominate conversations. They explain, direct, correct, and solve - but rarely pause long enough to truly understand. As a result, employees don't take ownership. Accountability weakens. Trust erodes. And leaders become exhausted from carrying the thinking for the entire team.

This powerful webinar introduces the 80/20 Leadership Rule - listen 80% of the time, ask strategic questions 20% of the time. This simple but transformative shift changes how you coach, correct, develop, and lead.

You will learn how to:

• Reduce defensiveness in performance conversations
• Increase employee ownership and accountability
• Strengthen development coaching
• Improve engagement and trust
• Elevate your leadership credibility

If you are tired of repeated issues, surface-level conversations, and disengaged teams, this session will provide practical tools you can implement immediately.

Stop talking more. Start leading better.

Your team's performance depends on it.

Why should you Attend: Many managers are frustrated.

They are having more conversations than ever - yet performance is not improving. Employees are disengaged. Coaching feels forced. Corrective actions are increasing. Development conversations are surface-level. And despite their effort, leaders still hear, "I don't feel supported."

The pain point is clear:
Managers are talking, but employees are not feeling heard.

This disconnect leads to:

• Repeated performance issues
• Low accountability
• Defensive employees during feedback
• High turnover
• Weak bench strength
• Leadership burnout

Most managers were promoted for performance, not for communication mastery. No one formally trained them how to listen strategically.

This webinar provides the solution.

You will learn the 80/20 Leadership Rule - listening 80% of the time and asking intentional, development-focused questions 20% of the time. This simple but powerful shift transforms 1:1s, performance reviews, corrective action meetings, and staff discussions into growth-centered conversations.

Instead of fixing problems for employees, you will learn how to develop their thinking.

Instead of escalating issues, you will prevent them.

Instead of managing tasks, you will lead people.

If you want stronger engagement, better accountability, and measurable performance improvement, this webinar will give you practical tools you can apply immediately.

Listening is not a soft skill - it is a leadership advantage.
