Scaling Up COMPENSATION – 1 Hour Webinar with Verne Harnish

Description

How you compensate people is one of the most important strategic decisions your company will make – but few “get it right and out of sight.” Nail it and you can add hundreds of percentage points to the bottom line while driving up the energy in the organization. Make the wrong call (or piecemeal the decision together), and the results will create needless drama throughout the organization.

Do any of these challenges sound familiar?

• “I gave a star performer a raise, and now everyone else is marching into my office, demanding one, too.”
• “If anyone looked closely at our payroll, it would be hard to rationalize why we’re paying certain people what we do.”
• “I’m tired of losing our best people to the Googles of the world because we can’t match their salaries.”

Compensation is one of your largest expenses, one you can turn it into a strategic advantage in attracting, retaining, and motivating talent (or not accidentally demotivating them). In this highly practical presentation, Verne details 5 principles for designing effective compensation systems along with plenty of examples from leading small, medium, and large firms across various industries.

You’ll learn:

1) The #1 mistake business leaders make in setting up their compensation plans
2) The psychological aspects of compensation underpinning successful plans
3) How individual bonuses can backfire
4) The power of gamifying gains to drive up energy and engagement
5) Whether you want to be queen/king or rich!

Patrick Lencioni, best-selling author of The Five Dysfunctions
of a Team and The Advantage

“Scaling Up addresses the second half of the venture ball game, something often lost in all the hoopla about incubating disruptive innovation during the first half. Half-time scores don’t matter—it’s all about how you finish the game. So get yourself into Verne’s locker room for a great half-time pep talk.”

Geoffrey Moore, Author, Crossing the Chasm

“Imagine walking into a library and finding one book that captures the ideas of all the books in the library. Scaling Up is that business book. You will not have to go any farther.”
