leadership engagement

If this sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, that's because in many ways it is. Leaders across this province are hurting and we don't need to look very far to see

why.

Over $50 billion in investment has been lost in the past 18 months. Despite the corresponding layoffs, we are still in the midst of a skilled labour shortage with

over 61% of Professionals in key segments currently less than 10 years away from retirement, and limited reserves to replace them. On top of that, Disruptive

Technologies are upending entire market segments and the net result of all of this is that we currently live and die by our quarter to quarter results.

These four things; Money, People, Information & Time form the four 'Commodities of Culture', something you need to learn to manage...now.

While the need to balance these 'Commodities' may be abundantly clear, what most likely is not, is the specific emotional impact imbalance in any of them will

create within the mind of a leader.

The Anatomy of Engagement


When disrupted, Money, People, Information & Time trigger emotional distress in all of us.

Engagement lies in building switches to counter these triggers, and more importantly, in learning how to avoid being triggered in the first place.

The stakes are currently high enough that mastery of this within your team and within yourself should be of paramount concern.

The Emotion of Leadership

Money Disrupted = Worry People Disrupted = Resentment

Time Disrupted = Frustration Information Disrupted = Disillusionment


Worried, Resentful, Disillusioned & Frustrated leaders build Worried, Resentful, Disillusioned & Frustrated teams.

This is why Employee Engagement itself is at crisis levels. According to Gallup, less than 13% of the world's workforce is actually engaged.

This 86% disengagement rate has lead to $3.31 billion in losses in Calgary in the past year alone. During this time 93% of local business have reported

voluntary turnover. Resulting disruptions in process due to lack of staff have lead to over 71% of customers becoming disengaged with these companies, all of which is tearing up the runway we have left to try and turn this all around.

In other words, subconscious reactions by leaders to disruptions in Money, People, Information & Time are resulting in more severe disruptions in Money,

People, Information & Time.

The Vicious Cycle of Crisis

The CultureSmith System

1.0

2.0

Assessment (Who)

Alignment (Why)

Attraction (How)

Activation (What)

Within Assessment, we set Vision. We determine

Who we are as a company, Who we are trying to become, and plot a course to get us

there.

When our path is disrupted and we begin to trend downwards, we re-Align. We determine Why our company exists

in the first place and discover the Purpose needed to get us from

1.0 to 2.0

Attracting the right buy-in allows us to pull out of the curve. We learn How to better communicate with

ALL stakeholders, and this Strategy sets our path back towards growth

and achievement.

When we Activate, we pour gas on the fire. We determine What needs to

happen and we get it done. We target and hit

Objectives our competition simply cannot match.

Reversing this cycle is exactly what CultureSmith does for companies by teaching them how to Assess, Align, Attract & Activate.

An Engaging Solution to the Engagement Crisis

Collaboration with leading Industrial & Occupational Psychologists from the Individual and Team Performance Lab at the University of Calgary has lead to

recent breakthroughs in our methodology.

As a result, the groundbreaking service that was once limited to companies looking to turn their disruptions to their advantage can now be delivered to

individual leaders looking to do the same.

Our one day Engagement Seminars will teach you how to Assess Who is on your team, Why Alignment is the critical first step towards engagement, How to

Attract more buy-in from stakeholders at all levels, and ultimately What you need to do to Activate yourself and those around you.
