WTF Is Even Happening At Most Companies, Honestly?
Just a quick rundown:
- In one study, 95% of employees indicated not knowing what the strategy of where they work is
- Per Gallup, 82% of managers end up being the wrong hire
- 60% of managers say they “don’t have the time” to respect their employees
- 95% of companies indicate making “bad hires” consistently, and 33%+ of those “aren’t sure of the cost” associated with that
- 67% of senior leaders can’t name the priority of their CEO
- 7 in 10 enterprise employees may spend most of their week on “low-value, overlapping” tasks
- Poor middle management costs the U.S. about $3 trillion (with a T) per year
- Numerous companies report being “unclear” on what job roles they need
Seriously, though. What the ever-loving shit is happening in these organizations? This isn’t complicated. Get people. Train the people. Respect the people. Give them opportunities. Make money as a result of their growth and the product/service’s growth.
There’s way too much bullshit and ineffectiveness at most places.
Could you imagine going to a CEO and telling him he had a 95% failure rate in his business…
