Sales Impact: Organisations experience a 7% loss in annual sales due to poor leadership.
-
Turnover Reduction: Effective leadership can reduce voluntary turnover by 9–32%, mitigating costly recruitment expenses.
-
Recruitment Costs: The cost to recruit a new employee has risen to $23,860 per person, underscoring the financial impact of turnover (Wightman, 2022).
-
Leadership Costs: One poor leader can cost a company over $126,000 annually due to low productivity, high turnover, and staff disengagement (DDI).
-
Employee Retention: Seven out of ten employees leave their boss rather than their company (Williams, 2022).
-
Engagement: Gallup reports that poor leadership is the primary reason employees are not engaged.

Investing in leadership development is crucial for improving organisational performance, enhancing employee engagement, and ultimately driving profitability. The impact is clear—strong leadership translates to better business outcomes.

The CEO Masterclass has impacted my leadership by really giving me implementable tools, that had an immediate positive impact. As a group we were able to be candid and honest with each other about where we sat in our business and where our businesses sat, the things we needed to learn. Having those peers to talk to has been incredible.

I have found this program to be one of the most effective training I have had in my business journey. It is hands-on and practical.

The surprising part about the course was the comradery. And to be honest, the retention rate - how everyone stayed engaged. Like, really engaged…It was a really content rich course and I’m probably going to have two years of implementation coming to me, but the best thing was, I realised, okay this is my job now…my job is to look for opportunity in all the issues in my organisation.

It was thorough and extremely meaningful for our group's challenges and needs. Extremely well curated and delivered. I learnt more from this class than I have over years of study.

Joshua
Before starting the Purposeful Leadership Program (PLP), I was a bit unsure about my leadership capabilities and style.  Through the PLP, I was able to gain insight into my natural leadership tendencies and consequent benefits and pitfalls to be aware of.  This has allowed me to better understand the needs and requirements of my staff.
Dylan
This people-centered and value-driven program equipped me with the practical tools and resources that I needed to become a more resilient, confident and judicious leader and manager. Ultimately, my participation in this program wasn't for me...it was for the team I lead.
