3 statistics to avoid:

- 54% of staff are unhappy in their jobs (online survey result 7/09)
- More than $1 of every $3 of payroll is wasted as result of unengaged employees (Gallup 6/09)
- 46% feel honest dialogue is missing in workplace (Lighthouse Leadership survey 2007)

Caught rereading the statistics? One conclusion ‘Culture Matters’.

Top 10 ways to see if you’re using the economy as an excuse to avoid movement:

10. You hear yourself tell the staff; it will all get better when the economy turns.
9. When you feel that you can’t do ‘anything’, but wait for better days.
8. You’d rather sell out – than adjust and adapt.

Three key words can keep you on track as you work to adjust your leadership skills.
Reflect, Respond, Remember

Here is an example. Have you felt ignored at times, you wonder if people hear your ideas, and at times you feel you’re blending into the wallpaper, you want to be recognized as a leader, but your progression hasn’t met your expectations?

Top 7 ways to identify if you’re a settler:

1. You set goals, and you let them go to the wayside.
2. Protecting what is truly important to you…becomes unimportant.
3. You find yourself saying…it doesn’t matter – more and more.
4. It becomes hard to remember the last time – you felt like ‘shouting YES!’
