A closer look at leadership:
From pressure to performance 

Hi there,

In times of constant change, one thing continues to drive real results: strong leadership. It’s what turns strategy into sustained performance. 

Effectory data shows that organizations with strong leadership see:

• 24% higher talent retention

• 24% higher engagement

• 23% better enablement

• 19% more productive teams

Effective leaders help people stay, grow, and perform. Poor leadership, on the other hand, is still one of the main reasons people leave. 

This month, we’ve put together a Leadership Emergency Kit to help you support the leaders in your organization. Let’s unpack it together.

New guide: Leadership that drives retention, engagement & performance

Our new guide explores how strong leadership can improve employee engagement, retention, and productivity. Learn how to assess and strengthen leadership at every level of your organization, and discover strategies you can start using today to address current challenges.
