Emotionally intelligent leaders cultivate healthier organizations, and emotional intelligence can be learned.

The bridge from strategy to exceptional execution is built on talent and culture. Our solutions hinge on proven processes that engage more of your workforce in driving profitable growth. Recent research reveals that a mere 21% of employees are truly engaged and committed to the success of their company, even though a much higher percentage are satisfied with their job. We believe that raising the bar beyond mere satisfaction and closing this gap by improving workforce engagement represents the leader's biggest lever, and our strategic planning process is a proven tool to make it happen.

The Challenge

Based on our real-world experience and extensive research, most workers are not receiving the communication and context they need to fully engage in the work needed for their company to achieve its full potential. An extensive Workplace Health Survey by Mental Health America (MHA) reveals the extent of the problem. MHA found that only 36 percent of the 17,000 people surveyed could rely on their supervisor for the support they need to do their job effectively. 

 

Further, a recent report by Mack Elevation found that 6 of 10 workers would choose a new boss over a pay raise, and 3 of 4 workers say that their supervisor is the most stressful part of their job. The top reasons sited? They did not receive proper recognition, and they were hindered by trivial activities and micromanagement. In a nutshell, most supervisors are not delivering the people they supervise the support and guidance they need and deserve to achieve peak performance.
