2009 ANNUAL CONFERENCE SPEAKER BIO |
Wally Hauck

Wally Hauck is a Team Building Consultant who helps leaders to bring out the best in people. Organizational problems often appear, on the surface, to be “people problems”, when in fact, the real problems are actually the organization’s underlying broken internal systems. Relationships, trust and loyalty are more important now than ever before because the real value of an organization lies in the minds of the employees and their ability to solve problems. Wally helps leaders bring out the best in people.
Wally is a Certified Speaking Professional or CSP. The Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation, established in 1980, is the speaking industry's international measure of professional platform skill. CSP is conferred throughout the International Federation for Professional Speakers only on those who have earned it by meeting strict criteria.
Wally has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania; an MBA in Finance from Iona College; and earned his PhD in Organizational Leadership from Warren National University in 2008. His book Blueprint for Success provides ideas that can help leaders unlock their potential, remove metal blocks to success, and provide new insights to accelerate positive change. Wally’s chapter, The Power of Influence: 7 Secrets for Successful Leadership, provides leaders with insights to create an environment of trust, continuous learning, and employee loyalty. Wally has worked with dozens of firms and government agencies in the last decade.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Performance Appraisals that Actually Improve Performance
This highly interactive presentation will challenge the way we think about the typical performance appraisal. Wally challenges the belief that an entire organization must improve by improving each of its parts. He utilizes accelerated learning methods, games, and video to involve the members in examining their underlying beliefs and practices concerning performance appraisals.
Current performance appraisals impose a barrier to trust, quality improvement and motivation and today organizations must fully engage the hearts and minds of all employees to achieve strategic results and high profitability.
