\u201cA Gallup poll of more than 1 million employed U.S. workers concluded that the No. 1 reason people quit their jobs is a bad boss or immediate supervisor.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Key Cause For Attrition –\u00a0Lack of Strong Leadership<\/h2>\n

The lack of strong leadership skills contributes significantly to attrition. Employee satisfaction levels become low, performance suffers, absenteeism is high, and the inspiration and motivation to be an achiever and obtain results becomes close to non-existent.<\/p>\n

Have you ever had a boss that made you feel demoralized? What about that \u201cruled by intimidation\u201d? What about that made you want to quit?<\/p>\n

People Quit Their Leaders, Not Their Jobs . . .<\/strong><\/p>\n

This same Gallup poll also discovered that poorly managed groups were 50 percent less productive than those with strong and respected leaders\u00a0and that profits were reduced by 44 percent.<\/p>\n

These numbers build a compelling case for ensuring your leadership team has the skills, behaviors, and respect to ensure your organization is successful.<\/p>\n
