The task of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity, but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there. - John Buchan

According to a study by the Hay Group, a global management consultancy, there are 75 key components of employee satisfaction (Lamb, McKee, 2004). They found that:

  1. Trust and confidence in top leadership was the single most reliable predictor of employee satisfaction in an organization.
  2. Effective communication by leadership was the key to winning organizational trust and confidence. Helping employees understand the company’s overall business strategy, helping employees understand how they contribute to achieving key business objectives, and sharing information with employees on both how the company is doing and how an employee’s own division is doing are all important for effective leadership strategies.

Leaders must be trustworthy and be able to communicate a vision of where the organization needs to go. Join us for this upcoming Leadership Seminar to learn more about our Leadership Process. This workshop has limited seating and is guaranteed to sell-out!
