Karla’s book, How to Earn the Gift of Discretionary Effort, teaches managers how to be the leader people CHOOSE to follow, not have to follow because of their position on the organizational chart.
The advanced people skills in this webinar include learning how to earn the gift of discretionary effort. Discretionary effort is the difference between the added value an employee can bring to a task, versus the minimum effort required to get by or make do, and still receive a paycheck.
It takes a special kind of leader to achieve the environment of exceptional employee experience and workplace optimization where workers naturally give discretionary effort, not just give the stereotypical second mile.
You learn what discretionary effort is and how to identify discretionary effort in your employees. Through the implementation of the strategic leadership model, you can create an environment where employees, at a practical level are not superficially engaged, but engaged in giving you their mental, emotional, and physical energy to help the organization reach its goals and objectives.
