Leadership Mastery

Organizations (and their people) now operate in a permanent state of change.

Being adaptable and agile, are now recognised as the indispensable qualities of effective organisations and people. A critical influence on agility (or lack thereof) is the leadership style provided within the organization. When high leadership competencies and behaviors are experienced within the organization – Improved Business outcomes are also experienced. 

Global Research from Gallup, Harvard School of Business and have been tracking Employee Engagement trends for decades and there is a direct correlation between Employee Engagement and Business Outcomes. 

“Engaged employees are more present and productive; they are more attuned to the needs of customers; and they are more observant of processes, standards and systems.” In particular, engaged teams demonstrated:

  • 41% reduction in absenteeism
  • 17% increase in productivity
  • 59% less turnover in low-turnover organizations, 24% less turnover in high-turnover organizations
  • 10% increase in customer ratings
  • 20% increase in sales

All of these effects taken together significantly increased one of the most important metrics for any organization: a 21% boost to profitability.

However this is not the case within most organizations:- Due to the lack of leadership behaviors among the key managers – especially the C Suite Level, most organizations experience the opposite effects. Toxic workplace cultures are identified by the following trends:

  • The war for talent. The Highly Engaged Staffing component keep leaving. The Great Resignation is upon us and only organizations with good culture are attract top talent.
  • Toxic workplace practices are maintained and not challenged. We call this “Rat” Behavior – Corpo”rat” Managers who undermine staff, gossip, Treat people without respect will quickly find themselves alone with the organization -loosing their best people to the new workplace. 
  • High Distrust
  • Low morale
  • Low productivity
  • Fear 
  • Stress

We hear this common statement, “employees are the organisations most precious asset” often but our conversation differs. Your only strategic edge is you ability to attract and retain a highly engaged Workplace. 

We believe that “engaged employees are your most precious asset.” And our work is to equip leaders to grow their understanding of leadership and their ability to raise their teams engagement levels.
