Interview with Doug Lennick and Chuck Wachendorfer with think2perform

Every leader wants to boost their team's productivity. The first step is to strengthen your leadership skills through learning agility, effective communication, and embracing empathy and compassion.
 
Experts Doug Lennick and Chuck Wachendorfer, partners at think2perform and authors of the new book DON’T WAIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO FIX IT, are available for interviews to discuss their unbeatable approach to productivity:
 
1. Learning Agility — A leader's ability to analyze new business situations and solve problems is a top priority. Leaders must be curious, choose growth over comfort, resist defensiveness, experiment — and share these skills with their teams to boost productivity.
 
2. Effective Communication — Effective communication is a function of someone attempting to send a message and someone receiving that message. If the receiver does not understand the intention of the communication, then the communication is ineffective and impedes productivity. A big problem often occurs when leaders do not communicate what activities must be undertaken to achieve the organization’s goals.
 
3. Embracing Empathy and Compassion — This leadership skill is more relevant than ever. Empathy is about understanding. Compassion is empathy in action. Any leader who actively cares about the well-being of their people will be rewarded with best efforts, higher productivity, and retention of the best and the brightest.
 
Doug Lennick is the founding CEO of think2perform, a high-performance leadership development firm serving organizations in various industries. Chuck Wachendorfer is President of Distribution at think2perform. They have worked with clients, including American Express, Wells Fargo, Comerica Bank, TD Wealth of Canada, and Charles Schwab.
