Employee Disengagement statistics are staggering. Lack of effective leadership has created a crisis “costing the U.S. economy as much as $350 billion dollars per year in lost productivity, accidents, theft and turnover.”

  • Gallup reports that Actively Disengaged workers increased from 15% in 2006 to 17% last Dec. Actively Disengaged “employees aren’t just unhappy at work; they’re busy acting out their unhappiness. Every day, these workers undermine what their engaged coworkers accomplish.”
  • A Walker study reports finding 36% “High Risk - negative attitude, negative behavior … employees do not plan to remain employed and no longer want to work for your organization.”
  • Towers Perrin found only 22% of the U.S. workforce is Engaged.
  • Over half the remaining staff are “Not-Engaged employees … essentially checked out. They’re sleepwalking through their workday.”

The Superperforming CEO: Liberating the Promise WithinDave Guerra of Corpus Optima launched his Superperforming CEO Book Tour and Seminar in Houston last week. Dave provides leaders with powerful techniques to reverse the tide of cynicism, apathy and anger which has created this malaise in American business.  Dave has researched organizations, work teams and projects that are beating the odds and dramatically outperforming their competition. The primary key to this SuperPerformance is an attitude of “Servant Leadership”.
