Authenticity in Leadership: Bridging Recognition as a Performance Driver
Nov 29, 2022David Klein currently serves as the Senior Director of Talent at Spirit Airlines. He brings 15 years of experience across diverse industries and in a variety of business environments. David is skilled in aligning leaders, culture, and teams to drive results, with a specialty in the areas of Learning & Organizational Development, Diversity & Inclusion, Recognition, Engagement, Culture, and Corporate Social Responsibility. Prior to joining Spirit, David worked in Human Resources at Carnival Cruise Line and QVC. In addition to his HR background, David serves as President of Recognition Professional International.
On episode 37 of the Dominate Your Day Podcast, David Klein shares the practices of setting tangible meaningful recognition strategies at work– what are the ways to rethink recognition as performance drivers and not as ‘nice to haves’ in corporate settings? In David’s philosophy, we should rethink how we approach work and explore the diversities in our strengths- it is the ultimate diversity in teams. With these actions, people will learn from everyone around them and not just the leaders and figures they revere.
In this episode, you’ll learn…
- Giving recognition at work. David’s perspective as President of Recognition Professionals International
- How do we use our differentiating strengths to build stronger teams and institutions– and what can companies do to explore diversities in strengths?
- Adaptability in leadership- are you still using the leadership style you adopted 10 years ago, 20 years ago or 30 years ago?
- How to use your strengths to understand yourself at different levels and articulate your priorities.
