Locking Arms vs. Locking Horns: Aligning Under Pressure (Toby Stansell)

This NxTrek session dives deep into the heart of how we behave, communicate, and lead when the pressure is on. When your business hits rocky patches, underperformance and failure expose inefficiencies and weaknesses in your processes and differences in priorities and approaches among your team members. Do you find your teams pointing fingers, assigning blame, and becoming combative? Or do you/they openly identify issues as a team, diagnose root causes, and systematically address challenges in a direct, yet diplomatic and respectful way? What are you going to do to help navigate the choppy waters, get everyone on the same page, and bring performance back in line with expectations? 

When your organization and leadership team are truly pressure-tested, do you lock horns or lock arms? This session is crucial for any leadership team looking to move forward cohesively during a storm. You'll learn self-diagnosis and problem-resolution approaches that tackle real problems head-on, all without destroying the essential esprit de corps within your leadership team and the business as a whole. Discover how to transform pressure into powerful alignment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• A process model for identifying the primary causes of underperformance
• “Never let ‘em see you sweat.” How to exhibit calm leadership in the face of adversity
• Leveraging everyone’s expertise and experience to construct and activate a plan to combat the forces at hand and improve performance
• Methods to turn pressure into strategic alignment

3 Best Practices in Strategic Deployment (Ronii Bartles & James Thompson)

When leaders are under pressure, misalignment hides in plain sight. Even when leaders are committed to the same vision, hidden gaps in focus, priorities, and pace can quietly unravel the best-laid plans. Strategic plans that look flawless in the boardroom can lose momentum in the field when teams are unsure how to align daily actions with long-term goals. The result? Effort without impact.

If your organization is fortunate enough to be filled with happy people, advanced expertise, and a strong market position, you are likely still missing a key element for maximizing success in the next year or 5 – alignment. 

In this session, we’ll show you how to turn alignment into deployment. Drawing on years of work with leadership teams around the globe, you’ll learn to turn agreement into action, ensuring every move drives your organization toward its strategic goals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Spot and address subtle disconnects before they derail execution
• Match the scope and pace of initiatives to your team’s capacity for change
• Translate strategy into clear, measurable actions that stay front-and-center throughout the organization
