Culture - Your Ultimate Competitive Advantage includes the topics of Execution and Trust. Each practice is based on fundamental principles that hold true across all industries.

This session will allow you the opportunity to interact with leaders like yourself that help to shape the culture of your chapters and industry. (Strategy + Execution) Trust = Performance Multiplier
Culture of Execution: The difference between executing on the most important goals and failing to do so is the difference between winning and losing. The 4 Disciplines of Execution are designed to create a winnable game. They give organizations and individuals the power to execute on the most important goals in the face of competing priorities and distractions. Defining the wildly important, acting on lead measures, keeping score, and being accountable, are all disciplines to execute on strategy. When organizations and individuals execute on strategy, they know they are winning, and nothing drives morale and engagement more than winning.

Culture of Trust: Trust isn’t a quality you either have or you don’t, it’s a learnable skill. Individuals, teams and organizations that operate with high trust significantly outperform those who do not cultivate trust at the core of their culture. Developing trust helps team members become energized and engaged. They collaborate more effectively, operate faster, and achieve sustainable results.
