#1) Leaders haven’t received substantial leadership training. Over 60% of companies offer NO leadership training. We often promote leaders based on technical skills and then throw them to the wolves. This is no longer an effective strategy if you want your organization to retain top talent, to thrive, be competitive, innovative, and agile in this ever-changing environment. #2) The turnover rate is higher than you’d like. Do you track and evaluate your turnover costs and hiring costs? What does a cost-benefit analysis look like if you invested in leadership/employee development vs. turnover costs? #3) Leaders are struggling with developing others, including creating a pipeline of leaders. 78% of employees say they’d remain longer with an employer if they saw stronger career paths. (Mercer) #4) Leaders/employees don’t feel empowered. #5) The organization experiences a lot of gossip/rumors. #6) Employees feel underutilized. #7) It’s a known fact that the organization keeps underperforming, toxic employees/leaders (doesn’t hold them accountable). #8) There’s a lack of communication & transparency. #9) There are people who talk a big game, but never follow-through. #10) Leadership or the organization doesn’t actively solicit other viewpoints or feedback.
