ACHEIVE Newsletter: The real cost of underdeveloped leaders
What’s more expensive—leadership training or replacing your best employees?
There are plenty of reasons companies avoid leadership development:
We don’t have the time.
We’re too small for leadership training.
Our leaders are already good.
It’s too expensive.
Reality check: Regardless of the reason, not investing in leadership development comes at a high cost.
- Turnover is expensive—replacing a mid-level team member can cost 125%-150% of an annual salary!
- Disengaged teams underperform, and make 60% more mistakes!
- Culture suffers. Your leaders are essential to creating a healthy workplace culture.
Leadership training is an investment—not an expense.
- It reduces turnover and disengagement. Better leaders mean fewer fires to put out, which saves time and energy.
- It benefits teams of every size. Small teams feel the impact of poor leadership even more, but a small investment in leadership creates big payoffs in productivity and morale.
- Even experienced leaders need development. Leadership is not a one-time skill—ongoing learning is essential to adapting to workplace changes, retaining employees, and strengthening culture.
Strong leaders are essential to healthy workplace cultures. Let’s invest in our leaders today, so our teams benefit tomorrow.
