Opening Session: Leveraging 80/20 to Shape Strategy
The “Pareto Principle,” commonly referred to as “80/20,” is a crucial but often over simplified and undervalued philosophy that impacts every area of our personal and professional lives. In this training session, Tim will go beyond the common 80/20 cliches to gain a deeper understanding of the impact, and potential consequences, of our relationships with “the insignificant many” and “the vital few”. The training will be interactive with large and small group discussions throughout the day.

Afternoon Session: Culture Informed Leadership
Culture-informed leadership refers to a leadership approach that actively considers and incorporates cultural differences, values, and practices in how leaders interact with their teams, make decisions, and manage diverse groups. Tim will share his lessons learned as an executive with Milwaukee Tool and how culture-informed leadership recognizes that individuals have different communication styles, expectations, and ways of working.
