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!
