E97: The Power of Leadership Retreats

Dr. Jean, The Results Queen® shared how leadership team retreats can significantly impact a company's performance. She highlights how the Bear Maple Farms team benefited from their retreat, which they combined with an industry trade show. This allowed them to have valuable strategic discussions in an inspiring outdoor setting, rather than a typical conference room. Dr. Jean suggested using simple tools like paper and whiteboards to guide conversations on the company's vision, values, goals, and responsibilities. She emphasizes that these open, uninterrupted discussions are crucial for addressing "elephants in the room" that often get overlooked. Dr. Jean encourages listeners to schedule annual leadership retreats, ideally at a nice venue, and consider hiring an outside facilitator to ensure productive, unbiased conversations. Dr. Jean believes these retreats can elevate an organization and lead to better results. Contact Dr. Jean here: Website: www.gettingresultswithdrjean.com Email: jean@cavemanbrain.com
