Creating a Connected & Engaged Organization - Concurrent Educational Session	2017-05-16	2017-05-16	3:15 PM	4:45 PM	2017-05-16 3:15 PM - 4:45 PM Creating a Connected & Engaged Organization Leadership is an act of engaging others to influence and execute a coordinated and harmonious conclusion. But far too often, leaders act with power, control and commanding attitudes creating harmful effects to organizational morale and engagement. To bring about a more collaborative and open organizational culture, leaders need to create an environment where there is reciprocal trust between the employee and leadership to do what's right however, whenever, and with whomever. To create an organizational culture that is full of engaged and connected employees is hard work, but not impossible. Dan Pontefract will discuss a "Flat Army", the strategic actions leaders can take to improve both culture and business results.
