About the Talk

Benjamin Franklin in the late 17th century famously said that "the only two things certain in life are death and taxes" satirically, yet truthfully implying that uncertainty is here to stay. Beyond just the recent pandemic, various industries continuously face changing times, including the growing world of artificial intelligence. So how do staff, from  entry-level  to senior leaders adapt to changing times and ensure that they are not only doing what they need to adapt, but do so in a way that doesn't create setbacks? Whether you are an engineer, architect, specifier, or manufacturer, each role faces massive changes in the coming decade leading to uncertainty. In this program, Jeff Butler reveals the roadmap that various organizations have used to maximize leadership abilities of all levels to stay ahead in uncertainty. More specifically, how to create a team where leadership is encouraged and a growth mindset to show up for their team when it counts and be able to separate the hype from the opportunity. Some strategies are commonplace like instantiating strong management systems, but others require practices to truly understand how the mind works in order to unlock their team's potential. In each case, each individual learns how to show up as a better team member ready to handle whatever reality tosses their way.
