Touching Lives: Leaders' Pain or Joy. Real organizational success is measured by more than just a good balance sheet and profit & loss statement. Successful leaders are also evaluated on how effectively they touch the individual lives of those within the organizations they lead. In his presentation, Mike Losey emphasizes how a leader's ability to connect emotionally and responsibly with others can effectively build confidence in management. The regrettable breaches of organizational trust and ethical violations too frequently witnessed can also be avoided. Mr. Losey gives real life examples on how leaders can connect with those within the organization that depend on their leadership. The organizational benefit is success where stakeholders, employees, families, and communities all benefit. The leader's regret is realizing his or her leadership failed and how people?s lives were negatively affected, for which there is no greater pain. The leader's prize is realizing there is no greater joy than fairly and favorably touching the lives of others.

In Today's Workforce- Why Your Employees Really Are Your Most Important Asset. From his vantage point as one of the world's leading authorities on effective human resource management, Mike Losey explores in down-to-earth terms key workplace trends and what to do about them. He explains other changes and trends in the workplace with facts, skill, real life experiences, and humor. His never-stand-behind-the-podium style engages audiences concerned about their "intellectual capital" and using effective people management as a competitive advantage. Whatever their role in human resource issues--from CEOs and HR leaders to managers and employees--Losey sends his audiences back to work with new insights.

Touching Lives: People-Centered Leadership.  Respected and successful leaders are frequently remembered more for how they touched the individual lives of those within the organizations they led than their profit and balance sheet results.  Also, people centered leadership can often prevent the detrimental effects of organizational failure or--even worse--breaches of trust and ethical violations. When successful leaders truly connect with their employees, customers, suppliers and community they get the payback of not only a successful organization but personal satisfaction of recognizing that there is no greater management joy than touching people's lives in favorable ways. 

A compelling, fascinating storyteller, Mike Losey, past-president and CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management, shares examples of how the lives of employees and their families have been touched by what he terms "people-centered leadership." This moving, humorous presentation provides audiences with insight into the tenets of people-centered leadership, one that takes "time out" to do the right thing for an organization's most powerful asset--its people--as well as an understanding of what it looks like in action.
