CREATING A CULTURE OF OWNERSHIP
In this hard hitting keynote Dr. John Izzo talks about a concept he calls 100/0 and how each one of us can take greater accountability when we put our excuses aside by focusing on what we can do and the role we play.
Taking responsibility means stepping up and seeing yourself as the agent of change, whether it is changing your company or changing the world.
Dr. John Izzo shows how “stepping up” creates positive change while improving satisfaction at work and in life. Dr. Izzo’s simple concept, called “100/0” (100% responsibility/zero excuses) can transform a company when we decide to put aside our excuses and take initiative to create change.
Filled with inspiring examples of how people have stepped up to make things better, audiences will leave knowing that the more each of us takes personal accountability the better the workplace, the better our life and the better the world.
This session can be focused on all levels to foster greater ownership or focused for leaders where he also helps leaders discover how to foster a climate of ownership and accountability.
Dr. Izzo shares the following examples from companies he has worked with:
WINNING THE EMERGING CUSTOMER, EMPLOYEE & INVESTOR
This keynote shows how a new driver of choice is happening worldwide where consumers, employees and investors are using purpose and community as a major driver of their commitments.
The new economy is going to be driven by an emerging group of people all over the world who want their employment, investing and buying to shape a better world while meeting their self oriented needs.
This book shows how a new driver of choice is happening worldwide whereby consumers, employees and investors are using purpose and community as a major driver of their commitments.
This new driver is present worldwide and cuts across almost all demographic barriers including age, developing/developing world, politics, religious affiliation and income level.
Those companies who understand and respond to this Aspirational person will create game changing competitive advantage. Rather than thinking of this person as a consumer, employee or investor we need to begin to realize this is the same person and we need to attract them on all three fronts at once.
This new person wants to shop, loves brands, is often active on social media and loves to share stories.
They want to consume but want “consumption without conflict” where they feel they are helping society, planet and themselves. Winning this new rising class of people who want good for self, good for people and good for planet alongside a sense of community/tribe is a spot of true differentiation.
These people want doing well and doing good to sit side by side as they live their lives. They simply want it all and if you can give it you will succeed.
Your audience will:
In this engaging keynote John explains WHY purpose matters and drives home how to drive the WHY on a daily basis in your organization.
If you really want your people to be engaged and bring their best to work then you need to make sure they have a deep sense of purpose. Research shows that people who see the purpose of their work are more productive, work longer hours and are more engaged.
We also know that when people feel inspired by the purpose of your company or organization they are more deeply committed, more willing to change, and serve customers more powerfully.
Dr. John Izzo first introduced the idea of higher purpose at work in his book, Awakening Corporate Soul, and has been showing leaders for over 20 years how to create a workplace where people are connected to the highest purpose of their work.
In this engaging keynote, John not only shows why purpose is so critical but provides audiences proven methods to drive purpose and the “why” with their teams.
