Leading With Vulnerability

How do some of the world’s top leaders unlock the potential of others, create trust, and lead through change? While vulnerability cripples some leaders, others tap into it and use it as a superpower. Vulnerability alone makes leaders seem incompetent. Competence on its own ...

How do some of the world’s top leaders unlock the potential of others, create trust, and lead through change? While vulnerability cripples some leaders, others tap into it and use it as a superpower. Vulnerability alone makes leaders seem incompetent. Competence on its own makes it hard for leaders to connect with their people. The key is to develop both competence and vulnerability, what Jacob calls “The Vulnerable Leader Equation.” Based on over 100 CEO interviews and a survey of nearly 14,000 employees, Jacob shares unique research, strategies, and candid stories that teach audiences how they can tap into vulnerability to transform themselves, their teams, and their organizations.

Learning objectives:

– How vulnerability can be used to lead through change.
– The difference between vulnerability and vulnerable leadership.
– Why leaders struggle with vulnerability.
– The different types of vulnerable leaders and the pros and cons of each.
– The 8 attributes of vulnerable leaders.
– The ROI of leading with vulnerability.
– What happens if being vulnerable backfires.
– The importance of competence.

The Employee Experience Advantage: How To Create An Organization Where People Want, Not NEED to Show Up

Nothing matters more than the experience organizations create for their people, this has become glaringly true in a post-pandemic world. For decades, organizations have been investing in short-term “adrenaline shot” programs such as free food or workfrom-home Fridays with ...

Nothing matters more than the experience organizations create for their people, this has become glaringly true in a post-pandemic world. For decades, organizations have been investing in short-term “adrenaline shot” programs such as free food or workfrom-home Fridays with no impact for team members or the organization. Organizations have been using these “engagement programs” to distract employees from the sad reality of what it’s like to actually work there. But now it’s time to make actual changes to the core workplaces of organizations.

Instead of forcing people into outdated workplace practices, the world’s top companies are redesigning work around their people by focusing on three environments: culture, technology, and space. In this session, Jacob will share research he did on 252 organizations and will uncover what the world’s top organizations are doing to attract and retain top talent. Employee experience is no longer an “HR thing” it is a “leader thing” and after this session you will know why and what to do about it!

Learning objectives:

  • Why and how the workplace is changing.
  • The ROI of employee experience.
  • Why employee experience and employee engagement are not the same thing.
  • The three employee experience environments: culture, physical space, and technology.
  • Why employee experience is not an “HR thing.”
  • How you can design and create great employee experiences.

“Jacob kept our 1500 attendees engaged from beginning to end by demonstrating his enthusiasm, humor, and knowledge for how work is changing. Though, it is his style that so clearly helped him connect with our audience. Jacob isn’t so much a “lecturer” as a “friend in conversation” and it was a pleasure to spend time with him and added to our understanding of what is happening to “jobs/work”. I have no hesitation in saying, Jacob was a great choice to join The Forum 2016 hosted by the National Association Workforce Boards.”
