Employee Retention Specialist Doug Brown from Manage 2 Retain chats with Renee Cormier of the Fractional Referral Network.

In 2024, leadership within companies is at an all-time low, and it's affecting every level of business. From toxic work environments to disengaged employees and poor operational efficiency, the impact of weak leadership is undeniable. The Leadership Deficit Statistics ➡️ Only 15% of employees are engaged at work (Gallup, 2024). ➡️ 60% of managers say they've received little or no leadership training (LinkedIn Learning, 2024). ➡️ 56% of CEOs rank leadership development as their top challenge (PwC, 2024). These numbers reveal that poor leadership is undermining company culture, causing high turnover and reducing productivity. How Poor Leadership Impacts Business ☠️ Toxic Cultures Poor leadership leads to toxic environments where communication breaks down and trust erodes. 80% of employees who quit cite toxic culture as a major reason (SHRM, 2024). 👎 Low Engagement Disengaged employees are 10 times more likely to leave within a year, costing companies about 35% of an employee's salary in turnover costs (Work Institute, 2024). 📉 Operational Inefficiency Without strong leadership, operations suffer. Companies with strong leadership teams are 50% more likely to outperform their peers (PwC, 2024). 👍 Prioritizing Leadership Development To drive long-term success, leadership must come first. From my experience, successful Lean implementations and people development programs begin by building strong leaders. When leaders are capable and visionary, they drive continuous improvement, ensure accountability, and foster a positive culture that sustains change for years to come. 5 Key Steps to Strengthen Leadership: 1️⃣ Invest in Leadership Training Companies with strong leadership programs see 35% higher profitability and 30% lower turnover (Deloitte, 2024). 2️⃣ Prioritize Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Leaders with high EQ lead more effectively. 90% of top performers in 2024 demonstrate strong emotional intelligence (TalentSmart, 2024). 3️⃣ Foster Transparency
