Leadership – Some disturbing numbers about staff engagement

Professor Gary Hamel, of the London Business School, reported some disturbing numbers at the recent World Business Conference in New York.

Of people at work:

  •   only 14% are fully engaged,
  •   62% are moderately engaged, while
  •   24% are disengaged.

Some more disheartening findings – according to staff surveyed:

• just 40% of managers communicate decisions effectively

• only 38% of managers communicate openly and honestly

• a paltry 30% of managers are interested in employee wellbeing.

The leader’s job has a long way to go!
