At Approachable Leadership our mission is to help you tackle 3 major challenges facing businesses today: - The Cooperation Gap (3/4 of all change projects fail, and 53% of those projects destroy value); - The Enthusiasm Gap (71% of employees are disengaged, costing an estimated $550 billion); and - The Talent Gap (20% of workers will voluntarily quit this year, costing businesses $11 billion). These issues are stumbling blocks to success. Many companies mistakenly attack these challenges with a "whack-a-mole" approach that drains resources and energy. How does Approachability address these challenges? - Approachable leaders see 88% more "above and beyond" behavior from their teams. - Employees with Approachable leaders are 89% more likely to be engaged. - Turnover intention decreases by 71%. The Approachable Leadership Learning System can replace or complement your current leader development strategy. Use our content with your current internal trainers (with support from our learning coaches) or bring our coaches to your company to implement the learning system. Improve cooperation and enthusiasm. Keep your talent. Call 1-800-888-9115 to learn about bringing a tailored Approachable leadership solution to your company. Phillip B.
