Leadership development keynote speaker Krister Ungerböck reveals the key to drive growth:
BUILD BETTER BOSSES.
Known for his groundbreaking leadership approach and book – The Language of Leadership – Krister Ungerböck reveals the secret to employee engagement, increased profitability, and faster growth: Better bosses. What’s the simplest, most practical way to build better bosses – or become one? Upgrade your language of leadership. A sought-after leadership development keynote speaker, Krister explains: “The easiest way to change how we lead is to change our words.”
As a former CEO who personally led the leadership development efforts as his company exploded from 15 people to hundreds of people on 5 continents, Krister is a unique leadership development keynote speaker who shares firsthand experiences from the trenches building leaders in a rapidly growing company.
After winning 5 consecutive Top Workplace Awards – thanks to chart-topping 99.3% employee engagement rankings – Krister retired at age 42 to become the world’s first Leadership Archaeologist. Today, as a leadership development keynote speaker, he teaches aspiring leaders and executives the unconventional leadership lessons he learned while observing leaders in 40 countries, building businesses in 6, and living 3.
In his keynotes, Krister notes that inside every company is millions of dollars’ worth of unseen potential productivity waiting to be unlocked. According to Gallup research, highly engaged teams deliver 21% higher productivity than other teams. This untapped potential results in reduced profitability and slower growth.
What is the impact of slower growth? Fewer career growth opportunities for top performers, which leads top talent to look elsewhere for their next promotion. Win the war for talent, and the battle for customers is easy.
What’s the key to increasing employee engagement and unearthing unseen potential in your organization?
Build better bosses.
According to the Harvard Business Review, managers’ leadership behavior accounts for at least 70% of the variance in employee engagement – and thus productivity.
As a global leadership expert, Krister offers insight into behaviors that make for bad leadership and good leadership. An admitted “difficult boss,” Krister transformed his own leadership style and went on to become an award-winning CEO of a global software technology company with hundreds of employees in 8 countries.
As a leadership development keynote speaker, Krister’s leadership development techniques resonate with leaders at all levels: aspiring young leaders, entrepreneurial CEOs, and seasoned senior executives.
