Studies show that 85% of the world’s workforce is not engaged when on the job. However, an engaged employee makes their organization 17% more productive and 21% more profitable. So which would you rather have? The most common reasons for lack of disengaged employees are related to a lack of feeling connected to the organization. Employees want to contribute and feel valued. When they don’t, they check out mentally. These are all things that are easy to fix with the proper culture change.

Change is inevitable and rarely welcomed. Most people become too comfortable with the status quo. But if you want to grow you have to change. And change must be supported by the entire organization if you wish to be successful in your effort. Understanding the art and science of change gives you the ability to change on your own terms with minimal friction.

Between deadlines, a shifting marketplace, rapidly changing technology, a shaky economy, and poor communication, it’s no wonder employees feel stressed out. And this condition leads to reduced productivity that directly effects your bottom line. But, believe it or not, stress is not a four-letter word, it is actually an important part of our drive to improve. The problem is not that we have stress, it’s just that most people don’t know how to properly manage stress. 

A great leader needs to have a clear vision, the ability to communicate their vision, and be able to motivate others to support them in realizing their vision. In order for an organization to survive mass-scale changes or evolve to higher levels during business-as-usual times, effective leadership plays a critical role in a successful outcome.
