Every organization needs strong leaders, a culture focused on innovation and improvement, and a constant focus on customer and world class service. PEN is excited to announce its first Leadership Retreat August 14-15 that focuses on those three drivers of excellence: “7.5 Leadership Keys for Innovation, World Class Service & Excellence!”
The retreat is intended for leaders (at all levels) and teams from all types and sizes of organizations, and will be held at Grand Superior Lodge on the beautiful North Shore of Lake Superior. The retreat will be facilitated by Dr. Bryan Williams of B. Williams Enterprise LLC (formerly of Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company), the closing keynote at PENworks 2017 (and our highest rated speaker ever!!). If you missed PENworks, check out this 90-second clip of Bryan in action:
The retreat will begin at noon on Monday, August 14 with lunch. Interactive, fun, rich learning from 1:00-5:00 PM Monday afternoon, followed by a reception and informal dinner — great for networking and relaxing. The retreat will continue Tuesday, August 15 roughly 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
A personal invitation from our facilitator, Bryan Williams:
The location is perfect — perfect for learning, for networking, for escaping the stresses and commitments of your daily routine. Come early and/or stay later to play on the North Shore, just 30 minutes north of Duluth.
The overall purpose of this unique session is to help leaders develop a strong team that consistently exceeds expectations. The retreat will explore the daily leadership habits and proven tactics to sustain excellence on any team, and will focus on best practices that promote innovation, achieve world class service, and reach/sustain excellent outcomes.
The retreat will focus on:
- The dynamics that cause employees to “quit and stay” (become disengaged and unproductive)
- What leadership qualities and skills reverse that trend and cause employees to stay and thrive
- How leaders can build on that momentum to thrive and sustain high performance
The retreat will be highly interactive, fun, practical and actionable. It will include a “capstone” mini-project, focusing on a real issue in your organization (so that leaders walk out with the beginning of a plan of action). A the retreat is designed to help any leader in any organization improve performance of his/her team.
