Taking into account the Executives competence.

Organizations who are struggling cannot stop the excessive turnover and unnecessary workloads by doing the same things with the same people that got them where they are today. Change is necessary. More than likely, a lack of any apparent talent magnet has reduced you to hiring the bottom of the barrel so to speak. People don’t quit good companies, they quit poor managers. “You can make a B player an A player but you can never make a C player an A or B player” Jack Welch, CEO/

Lack of formal leadership training for all employees is the root cause of most organizations struggles.

In fact, this generation is a product of changing family dynamics as well as today’s economic reality. This generation is more a reflection of contemp

The gift I’m seeing is: a focus on the lack of real leadership in America. Millennials have been getting a bad rap for some time now. This deception and disinformation about millennials is mainly driven by the "Managers in Disguise" or executive members of the C team if you will, who are at the top of some organizational charts. These are the people in organizations who have obtained enough influence in the workplace to create the perception that millennials are bad for busin

When good employees leave good organizations, studies show, the number one reason for leaving is poor management. Notice, I mentioned "good employees," because poor employees thrive in this environment. Even the most principled employee has his or her limit as to how much dysfunction they will put up with before getting off the bus. An organization's culture is driven by the amount of dysfunction the people who are in positions of authority/leadership are willing to put up wi
