Yesterday I formally announced the results of our survey on leadership and careers in a business world that is radically changing. A wake-up call for executives, these findings show that only those companies focusing on great performance and the best use of talent will thrive in the current environment.
Virtually every leader can take more aggressive steps to grow their companies, innovate, and engage their staffs. Leaders need to be more than inspiring – encouraging business and functional reinvention, purposeful collaboration, and new ways to engage with their customers.
Methodology
Through a confidential questionnaire, over 320 leaders and managers evaluated the extent to which members of their leadership team are successfully taking specific actions, such as launching bold new strategies for growth. Respondents were asked to evaluate factors that affect their personal career satisfaction, growth, and marketability, the future of their company or industry, as well as their own leadership effectiveness. A final section focused on attitudes about the contributions of Gen Y, i.e. the Millennials.
