Joe Tye Presentation Topics for 2008
The Invisible Architecture of Your Organization
Most leaders give extravagant attention to the design of the physical
facilities, but it’s the “invisible architecture” that creates lasting
impressions on both patients and staff. Employing the metaphor of
architectural design, this presentation shares strategies for designing
and building the invisible structure of core values, corporate culture,
and workplace environment to create a sustainable source of competitive
advantage, foster employee ownership, and earn long-term loyalty.
The Four Dimensions of Values-Based Leadership
The four most important duties of every leader are fostering character
strength, creating high expectations, promoting a spirit of fellowship,
and earning commitment to the quest. This presentation features
proven strategies for promoting a culture of values-based leadership
(including ideas from the book Take the Stairs, which
Joe co-authored with Roger Looyenga, CEO of a Fortune 500 company
that is a longstanding Values Coach client).
Honey and Glue
The most serious challenge facing
every organization in the years to come will be finding and keeping
great people. You attract people with the “honey” of pay and benefits,
opportunities for advancement, working conditions, etc. but you retain
them with the “glue” of such intangibles as purpose, pride, trust,
and fellowship. This presentation shares values-based recruiting
and retention strategies for a “sticky” organization.
The Pickle Challenge
Do you have people in your organization whose negative attitudes make
them look like they were born with dill pickles stuck in their mouths? The
Pickle Challenge, and companion Pickle Pledge, is
a fun and effective approach for creating organization-wide commitment
to eradicating toxic emotional negativity the way we once eradicated
toxic cigarette smoke.
Winning the War with Yourself
Every leader wants to build a winning team, but the non-negotiable (and often overlooked)
first step is teaching individual team members skills and attitudes
for thinking and acting like a winning player. Using proprietary
tools such as The Self-Empowerment Pledge, Direction
Deflection Questions, and Metaphorical Visualization,
this program helps people overcome negative self-talk, poor self-image
and low self-esteem, and other barriers to thinking and acting
like the winner we were all born to be.
What Would Florence
Do?
Each year, hospitals
celebrate National Nurses Week on the birthday of Florence Nightingale,
who not only founded the profession of nursing, but was also the
first real hospital administrator. The way we answer this question
can help us respark the spirit of mission that should inspire every
caregiver. Some of the answers will also astonish modern-day healthcare
professionals.
