Your Leadership challenges aren’t Unique—But they are Expensive

Jul 21, 2025
Connect

Let’s get real: most people are promoted into leadership roles because they’re good at their job—not because they’re ready to lead.

In fact, 85% of employees step into leadership roles without a lick of formal training. That’s not just a missed opportunity—it’s a recipe for disengagement, confusion, and ultimately, burnout.

And the cost? Oh, it adds up fast.

 

Poor Leadership Is Hurting Your Team—and Your Bottom Line


Here’s what the data says:

  • 57% of employees leave because of their boss. Not the pay. Not the hours. The person leading them.

  • Only 11% of companies believe they have strong leaders lined up for the future.

  • Companies with poor leadership? They suffer from 7x lower employee engagement and 50% higher turnover.

  • On the flip side, organizations that do invest in leadership development are 2.4x more likely to hit performance goals.

Leadership isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s the heartbeat of your culture, your retention strategy, and your business outcomes. Leaders influence up to 70% of the variance in team engagement—a number too big to ignore.

And if you’re hoping younger talent will stick around while you figure it out? Think again.

  • 87% of Millennials want professional development.

  • 76% of Gen Z expects formal leadership training from their employer.

 

So What Can You Do?


You could hire a Chief People Officer. (Expensive.)

You could wait and hope your current leaders magically “figure it out.” (Risky.)

Or—you could bring in something better:

Schedule the August Workshop of the Month: Leadershit; Turning Missteps into Mastery


A laugh-out-loud, tell-the-truth leadership workshop that uses real (and ridiculous) leadership blunders to build better habits. Your team will walk away with tools, insights, and maybe even a few memes.

Or take it at your own pace:
🎓 The Leadershit UnCourse is available for individuals or teams who want to laugh, learn, and lead better—on their own time. Purchase at a discount (when you buy 5 or more direct) with a guide to facilitate important discussions all month!  

Even better do both!  Schedule the virtual professionally facilitated discussion AND provide a copy to each team member!  $275 Plus $10 per copy (+shipping). 

Because let’s be honest: we’ve all stepped in it.
Now it’s time to step up.


Ready to lead better?

 Sign your team up for the Workshop!

Want help deciding what’s best for your team? Let’s talk. Bringing the fellowship to your team is like hiring a Chief People Officer—at a fraction of the cost.
