021. Gear Up for Greatness: Rebuilding Culture One Leader at a Time
Instructor: Lisa Ryan, CSP
1:30 pm - 4:00 pm
You can’t outsource culture, and you can’t fix what you haven’t named. In this energizing, story-driven session, Lisa Ryan introduces the Six Gears of Grategy®, a practical, people-first framework designed to help distribution leaders build a culture their employees won’t want to leave. This session isn’t about theory. It’s a clear system that breaks culture down into six actionable areas: Attitude, Appreciation, Access, Acts of Service, Applause, and Accountability. Through real-world stories, hands-on exercises, and facilitated discussion, participants will identify what gear they need to shift; and what’s grinding employee morale to a halt. Whether you’re a new manager or seasoned leader, this workshop will help you recalibrate how you lead, how your team feels, and how your culture performs.
