GOOD MANNERS ARE GOOD BUSINESS - November 2017

Spirited Leadership
51% of the US workforce are actively seeking
new employment with poor supervisors
as the leading factor.

Gallup Survey

The Harvard Business Review recently reported in a CEO forum in which participants concluded that protecting their employees from bad managers should be their top HR strategic initiative. Based on my worldwide observations across 18 industries, the CEOs got to the heart and soul of plummeting engagement and top talent fleeing an organization – bad managers.

Culture eats strategy for breakfast.
Peter Drucker

Bad managers create fear-based cultures that destroy trust, motivation, innovation and teamwork. Employees’ valuable energy and commitment are focused on getting a new position. Individuals choose to keep their heads down to avoid being the target of a bully attack.

Spirited Leadership: 52 Ways to Build Trust, now in its fourth edition has been used by thousands of leaders globally to transform bad managers into leaders and build cultures of trust. Practical, clear, concise and chock-full of earned wisdom, the workbook and exercises increase awareness and provoke self-reflection.

Nothing changes out there
