This likely has something to do with the fact that only a third of American employees are engaged by their work, and only a fifth feel that they’re managed in a way that motivates them. While it used to be common for employees to move up the ranks in their company, now 91 percent of employees report leaving their company the last time they changed jobs. American employees are feeling less satisfied by and invested in the companies they work for, and companies need employee engagement ideas that work if they’re going to retain their talent and develop a high performance culture.

At the beginning of each advanced leadership workshop session, business thought leader John Spence asks attendees how many currently have a written list of their key leadership values.

More than half of organizations use some form of internal coaching and the rest plan on doing so, yet nearly half of all managers spend less than 10 percent of their time coaching.
