2. In today’s economy every dollar counts. You plan how to streamline operations, minimize the cost of
resources and try to market more strategically. All of these attempts shave some of the growing costs of
operating a business today but you might be missing something. This is something lurking in the hallway that
is costing you far more.
Don’t feel bad, it can be easy to miss, to overlook or to cast a blind eye. It affects all organizations big and
small. Its quiet impact might go unseen for quite some time before you notice the groundswell of dollars that
have floated away.
Does it ever seem as if you are stuck in the movie Groundhog Day? No matter which organization you are
leading, you encounter the same issues and problems over and
over again . . .
• Difficult staff
• Motivation issues
• Reduced Accountability
• Miscommunication
• Systems that aren’t working correctly
• Leadership and management systems that need refining

3. When you face these challenges day after day – and have difficulty moving beyond them – your stress level
increases and your effectiveness and productivity decrease. The result? Your team and the organization also
suffer. No one wins.
The highest cost impact in your organization is ineffective leadership. Leaders who have not evolved with
the times, leaders who allow disengagement to fester eroding performance over time, leaders who believe
they are leading but lack anyone to follow. Sometimes ineffective leadership arrives quietly, you might not
even be aware of it as a problem until the bottom starts to fall out. When performance drops, sales numbers
are “off,” you see key intellect walking out your door, and you scramble to fix the impact on your customers.
You might even point to other believable causes: economic pressures or doing more with less.
But even outside forces can be met with calm and effective leadership. Do you have it? Does your
organization have it? Or are there barriers we can overcome with a few strategic shifts. Shifts that will give
your people what they need to be high performers, create a model of leaders that today’s unique workforce
chooses to follow and create a workplace steeped in values, collaboration and accountability. If you are
wondering how you could afford to invest in up leveling your organization, evolving leadership and activating
the employee engagement drivers needed for success, your success, let’s look at where you are investing
now.

4. What is the cost of un-evolved leadership?
Well the costs are eye-opening. Tally the costs associated with turnover, lost or misused resources, lost time,
and many other negative impacts and you will quickly see why.
Let’s look at turnover first. Employees are no longer willing to work in unsupportive work environments. The
cost of turnover is conservatively estimated to be 150% of an entry level person’s salary and 200-250% or
more of an executive salary. The national average turnover rate is 25%. HR.com reports that an $8.00 an hour
employee requires $3500.00 to replace. What is your turnover rate?
Even losses at the entry level have a vast impact. If you lose an entry level employee salaried at $25,000, the
cost of that loss, at one hundred and fifty percent, is $37,750. This is your cost losing one employee due to
poor leadership. What if you were to lose ten? That’s $377,500. What could your organization do with
another $400k? Upgrade technology? Hired needed staff? Expand?
But turnover is not your only cost. What if poor leadership leads to poor communication, decreased resource
sharing or material losses as a result? Can you afford to waste materials? Is that loss built into the contract
pricing? How are you able to justify the loss? Do you ever see waste because one department or area of your
company fails to communicate effectively with another? This often happens within organizations when staffs
become territorial or operate within their own departmental silos. Communication fails and teams fail to
focus on the overall goals of the organization. With effective leadership employees are conscious of the big
picture, they are innovatively thinking of ways to achieve success just as you are.

5. Employee Engagement: An endless journey in steering corrections.
An engaged employee arrives at work striving for excellence and focuses on the overall success of their
employer. How many of your employees can you say that about?
Would it surprise you to learn that if yours is like most companies, only 27% of your employees are
engaged? According to the U.S. results from the Towers Perrin’s Global Workforce Study titled “Closing the
Engagement Gap: A Roadmap for Driving Superior Business Performance,” there is a direct link between
employee engagement and business performance. Looking at the statistics, you will see why.
If only 27% of employees are engaged, what are the others doing? In a company of 100 employees, only 27
show up daily, loyal to the company and committed to doing their best work; 59 are not engaged; and 14 just
show up—they don’t really care. They simply pass time on your dime.
In addition, 77 report feeling burned out, 33 say they are overworked, 67 feel overwhelmed, 7 are sinking
into deep depression, and 50 are open to switching jobs if another becomes available. It doesn’t paint a very
pretty picture, does it?
With only some of your staff productive, you can only imagine the cost to your organization.
Disengagement costs an estimated $240-270 billion a year in lost productivity. The Conference Board on
Employee Engagement reports that there is a direct correlation between employee engagement and
desirable business outcomes, such as retention of talent, customer service, individual performance, team
performance, business unit productivity, and even enterprise-level financial performance. What might this
problem be costing you?
