Plenary Sessions Working for You Isn’t Working for Me – How HR Can Help Employees Manage Their Bosses*

People, Performance, Profit

Katherine Crowley & Kathi Elster

Founding CEO The Talent Foundation

Psychotherapist & Consultant In this exclusive HR Summit presentation, Katherine & Kathi will discuss how sooner or later, every employee works for someone they can’t stand. When that happens, some people quit, some suffer in silence, and others cope by sulking, obsessing, avoiding, or retaliating. None of these options represents a good outcome for the business – which has invested time, money and effort into its human capital. When turbulent boss/employee relationships arise, it’s often up to HR to smooth the waters, but that can be easier said than done. Fortunately, Katherine Crowley and Kathi Elster, the corporate psychologist and business strategist behind Working For You Isn’t Working For Me – The Ultimate Guide to Managing Your Boss, are here to help! Their presentation at HR Summit 2010 will show how HR can successfully advise and instruct any staff member who is grappling with a difficult authority figure. Filled with the concrete examples from actual corporate environments, they will show the audience how to manage some of the worst behaviors from bosses and staff alike. Chronic critics, yellers, unconscious discriminators, control freaks, pathological liars and absentee leaders will all be considered in a fun but thought-provoking exploration into boss/employee relations.

Dr Javier Bajer During this high energy session, international talent and leadership expert Dr Javier Bajer will share some of the methods used during a recent culture transformation program, where thousands of HSBC employees increased their performance and the organisation managed to exceed its business targets. Javier will challenge the popular view that developing the right culture for a business is something that takes years. He will use real life examples of 100dayJourney, a proven method to accelerate culture change and make those changes sustainable over time. Dr Javier Bajer’s talent and passion is to develop extraordinary leadership at scale, re-engaging their people and finding concrete answers to the challenge of unlocking human talent in very practical ways. He frequently addresses and chairs international conferences on the topics of ‘Leadership in Crisis’, ‘Accelerating Culture Change’ and ‘Workforce Engagement’. Javier regularly writes for a variety of publications and is often invited to participate in television and radio programs on the topics of leadership and talent.

The Role of HR in Enabling Change in RBS

The Five Faces of Genius: How to Innovate in the Midst of Change

Brian McLaren Regional Head of HR ABN Amro, Asia

Annette Moser-Wellman Innovation & Leadership Expert and Author

In 2007, RBS had a relatively small presence in Asia with some 2,000 employees across the region. Then suddenly, with its well documented takeover of ABN Amro, that figure rocketed to 23,000 in an instant. Enter Brian McLaren from Europe, to oversee the HR integration of what still is the world’s largest ever banking takeover. Fast-forward to September 2008, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, and the near-complete unraveling of the world’s financial system. The newly formed RBS Group found itself in un-chartered territory and Brian, along with his HR team, were faced with more professional challenges than many of us face in a lifetime. In this fascinating inside case study, hear first hand how Brian and HR have faced and dealt with an incredible array of challenges and circumstances, including: • • • • • •

The initial merger and transition of teams and departments Developing single HR protocols across a newly enlarged region Maintaining morale during an about turn in markets and a sudden rationalisation of the business Staff communication and transparency when legislation requires no disclosure Winning hearts and minds, whilst driving performance - when employees are uncertain as to their future role and employer Leading an HR team when 50% of their work is completely new territory

Annette Moser-Wellman shares her insights on innovation through the model - ‘The Five Faces of Genius’. These ‘Faces’ represent creative thinking styles that HR and every leader must have if they are to be effective in today’s marketplace. Drawing from the arts and sciences, Annette shows people managers from all levels how to use the five skills to lead. With over 20 years of business leadership experience, She outlines the skills of the next generation manager with energy and sense of humor that enlivens and refreshes audiences. She includes rich examples from today’s global market, as she explains what it takes to be a leader of ideas with corporations and within the market. Annette Moser-Wellman works with some of the world’s leading companies from Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Company, JP Morgan Chase Bank and Kraft Foods to Microsoft, Starbucks and the Walt Disney Company. Her expertise spans the range of strategy and vision planning to leadership development and innovation training. Her book, The Five Faces of Genius, Creative Thinking Styles to Succeed at Work, outlines five tools that leaders and HR need in the next generation of business. She also coaches leaders at the CXO level and assists them in understanding the relationship between controlling weaknesses and personal potential. Her model helps HR and senior executives shape a compelling vision for the organisation.

Leadership and Human Nature: Understanding Why Employees Act the Way They Do Phillip Van Hooser, MBA, CSP, CPAE Business Leadership & Service Expert, Author and Executive Coach A single principle of human nature drives all human behavior. Senior HR directors, CEOs and business leaders that understand and apply this principle can more successfully create work environments within their organisations that engage their people, improve productivity and generate bottom line profitability. With knowledge and understanding of this one principle, all those attending this exclusive HR Summit presentation will be equipped to: • • • • •

Recognise the four universal fears that hinder employee development Implement organisational strategies that combat fear and resistance to change Identify the unique motivational needs of each employee Create working environments where employees are engaged and perform at their peak Evaluate the readiness of employees to accept new levels of responsibility and authority

Since 1988, Phillip Van Hooser has spoken, written and consulted on leadership and customer service issues worldwide. From his experience as a manager for FORTUNE 500 heavy manufacturing and consumer products companies and a director for a locally owned community bank, Phil knows firsthand methods that equip executives and managers to lead their people more effectively and serve their customers more successfully.

Inspiring Your Team to Achieve Their Peak: How to Help Your Managers Raise the Performance Levels of Their Team John Shackleton Performance Expert In this HR Summit exclusive presentation, John Shackleton will show you how your managers can apply simple sports psychology techniques to help their team to ‘raise their game’ in the business world. No matter what they are trying to achieve, an employee’s performance will ultimately be determined by their confidence and self-belief and it’s long been understood that it’s the manager’s job to coach their staff in these areas. However few managers understand how they can inspire their team and help them to develop greater levels of self belief and personal responsibility. Drawing from his background in international sports coaching John shows how you and your managers can use such coaching strategies and techniques to help staff become more self motivated and truly believe in their abilities. The sports coaching model suggests that the individual has within them all the potential necessary for achievement, all they require is a deep belief in themselves and their goal and the encouragement to achieve. Therefore the way we help others to learn must be by their direction, not ours, and for most managers this is the opposite of what they are doing currently! John Shackleton has a background in Sports Psychology and has coached many world class athletes including Olympians and World Champions. He has also coached CEOs and senior executives from many of today’s blue chip companies including Coca-Cola, IBM and Pfizer. John has been speaking for more than 25 years and has won many accolades and awards including the coveted Speaker of the Year award from NSANZ. John’s first book Life is for Living became a best seller before it arrived back from the printers and his most recent, Inspire Your Team is fast becoming a ‘coaching bible’ for managers throughout Australasia and Asia.

Driving Functional and Behavioural Competencies Across the Globe Brian Stanton Global Head of Learning & Development Customer & Product Training Rolls-Royce plc Having launched the first phase of its global Learning Management System (LMS) in 2008, Rolls-Royce has utilised the additional functionality of the LMS in areas such as performance management and competence assessment. In this special extended HR Summit presentation, you can learn all about it. Rolls-Royce is one of the few global companies that has deployed the extended benefits offered by the major LMS platforms to assign and assess competencies for all employees. This activity supported a major corporate focus of ‘Functional Excellence’ where each of the key functions, Finance, Engineering, Purchasing, Quality, HR etc. has taken global responsibility for defining generic jobs and associated competencies; previously, each of the major business units defined their own requirements and standards, leading to a multitude of methods of working and in many cases duplication of roles. The two-year project addresses the needs of all 38,000 employees at every level across all the countries in which Rolls-Royce operates. The project was managed through 21 major functional work streams that were then further divided into a total of 68. Brian Stanton is currently responsible for the definition and deployment of the Rolls-Royce global customer and product training strategy. The bulk of his career has been spent in Rolls-Royce of which 27 years have been in a wide variety of training roles. Previously he worked for 5 years in the Royal Signals, British Army and a major UK control systems company working on Nuclear and Aerospace systems. Brian holds a Master of Philosophy degree in management learning, and has been a visiting professor to two Chinese universities. He is currently an advisor to the University of Derby schools of Business, Law and Computing and was the founding chair of the British University in Dubai Advisory Board. He is a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). From 2007 to early 2009 Brian

was based in Singapore and was responsible for creating the learning systems, processes and infrastructure for Rolls-Royce employees in Asia and the Middle East. In 2009, Rolls-Royce won the British Business Award in Singapore for Education and Training.
