Built Better
At Breakpoint we are not just talking about leadership, we are leaders in emerging midmarket companies. We know that companies that have entrepreneurial roots and experience accelerated growth win with leadership. Why is leadership so important? Organizations fail when they don’t grow. The relationship between quality of leadership and business performance is dramatic. Studies show that great leadership delivers more than a 200% greater return than industry averages.
Since business owners know that leadership is valuable you would assume that they actively cultivate it. Not so! Over 80% of companies in the midmarket don’t believe they can recruit highly talented leaders. For those companies that do, less than 10% believe that they can keep them. The result is that those companies that aren’t prepared to build leadership will see their best people leave for companies that are ready. Critical knowledge and experience can leave the workplace forever. And if competitors attract your leadership, they get an insider’s understanding of your strategies, operations and culture. The slow fade of a business.
The game changers!
Leaders who build value, want value! They are focussed on how their time, effort and experience is rewarded by supportive ownership, tangible recognition and substantive work. This leadership commitment is the responsibility of the top. It begins with preparation. Preparation leads to understanding, which leads to action, which leads to success.
