Organizations invest heavily in selection and development, but are they fully leveraging the leadership potential already in their pipeline?
Drawing on 2000+ leadership 360° assessments and global psychometric data from 1M+ individuals, this session reveals the leadership behaviors driving performance today, and the risk of failing to maximize the leadership potential in your organization.
What the data reveals about leadership effectiveness
Empathetic behavior emerged as a standout differentiator in effective leadership, particularly among women, correlating strongly with 61% higher innovation and 76% higher engagement. However, the leaders who are championing highly effective people focused behaviors are often less likely to be rewarded or promoted.
The cost of overlooking empathy
The data suggests that organizations may be clinging to outdated stereotypes, often rewarding a more traditional view of what effective leadership looks like. The result is overlooked high-potential leaders, disengaged teams, lower retention and a diminished return on leadership investment.
