What Jeffrey Hayzlett Talks About:

The Hero Factor: How Great Leaders Transform Organizations and Create Winning Cultures
Business as usual, bad moods, and mediocre expectations are indicators of a MUCH BIGGER problem! Most companies fail to understand and protect their impact. A majority of any given work force doesn’t even know their company’s values:

  • Only 27% of employees know their company values
  • 51% of employees are disengaged in their current positions
  • Over half of the workforce is currently able to contribute more

But how to get them engaged?

Now more than ever, businesses need to know and own their purpose to survive, transform, and win. Products and services themselves don’t captivate or motivate people, it’s the purpose and meaning behind them that creates mass movements.

Companies lose their way over time because they lose attention to the excitement they received from the beliefs that drove them to get started in the first place. If you know your “why”, you can overcome any “how”. One of the most important things you can do in business, is to make sure everyone on your team knows and is committed to the same values, goals, and beliefs.

The hero factor is that special core fundamental that sets apart select companies to stand above the rest and achieve greatness. It’s a business with an elevated value systems and sense of purpose. It is a self-generated culture for winning by doing the right thing. The right way. For the right reasons.

Develop the right culture by knowing why you are in the game. Understand the essence of your core values. Make sure everyone on your team knows them and more importantly believes in them. Learn to live your brand in everything you do.
