Speaker Series: The Parthenon Principle
2023-01-10 08:30 - 09:30 (America/New_York) | Zoom
The Parthenon Principle: Business Improvement Doesn’t Have to be Greek to You
The Parthenon, one of the greatest of all Greek temples, is supported by over 150 outer pillars. Your business is also supported by pillars, specific areas of activity, that are essential to its integrity and survival.
In this workshop we will explore:

What are the key pillars of your business?
What strategies should you employ to make improvements to your pillars?
How to double your productivity and profitability by applying the Parthenon Principle.

It’s a New Year! Is it time for a new approach?

Our Cranberry Country Chamber Rockland Trust Speaker Series presents; Mike Ritz, Gallup Executive Director, Leadership Rhode Island. While businesses have largely adjusted to the changes caused as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there are still many of us actively navigating the evolving workplace.
If this sounds like you, you may be asking:
• Will our work or home lives ever return to “normal”?
• How do we keep employees engaged whether remote, hybrid, or in-person?
• How do we instill corporate culture and teamwork in remote workforce?
• Who is responsible for the outcomes?
Understanding how to engage and motivate employees will lead to happier teams, and ultimately, more productive outcomes. Join us to learn how you can reengage with your employees and colleagues, no matter the circumstances.
Mike Ritz, Gallup Executive Director, who now oversees strengths-based development in the U.S. public sector in DC after leading an 8-year transformation that moved Rhode Island’s workforce from the most actively disengaged in 2013 to one of the top performers in the nation today. Learn how Chambers of Commerce, other private sector hubs, and YOU through an engaged workforce are key to our nation’s post-pandemic recovery.
