From Buy-In to Breakthrough:
How Leaders Build Influence and Generate Results
When talented employees leave despite raises, meetings run long, strategies fade quickly, or leaders feel they’re carrying the load alone—these aren’t people or execution problems. They’re symptoms of a systemic buy-in crisis affecting our organizations, communities, and personal lives.
Join Dave Garrison for this interactive Zoom session to learn proven, no-cost leadership techniques that turn reluctant teams into proactive performers who deliver results and innovation. Drawing on insights from hundreds of leaders, Dave will address:
- What’s really causing the buy-in crisis
- If strategy and money aren’t the drivers, what actually works
- Three tools you can use immediately to create sustainable buy-in at scale
- How these ideas apply to both business and personal or family life
Following the 45-minute session, Dave will open the floor for questions and takeaways.
