The ripple effects of poor Leadership are vast...

Are you grappling with the crippling consequences of ineffective leadership, watching your company's potential slip through your fingers like grains of sand?

It's a harsh reality: skill gaps in your leadership team can spell disaster for your organisation.

According to the Brandon Hall Group, a staggering 71% of Australian organisations admit that their leaders lack the essential skills needed to steer their businesses into the future.

This isn't just a statistic—it's a wake-up call to action!

As a business owner, you understand the weight of responsibility that rests on your shoulders.

Every decision you make has the power to shape the destiny of your business.

But even more than that, every Leadership decision will ripple out through your business, through your team members, and they will further share those ripples, through their families and other relationships, both professionally and personally.

We are not just talking about your Leadership decisions, but also the Leadership decisions made by members of your Leadership team...

The ripple effects of Leadership decisions are far reaching, much further than you can ever imagine. For example, have you ever been involved in a project, where a Leadership decision has been made, that to you, makes no sense at all. Did that make you frustrated? What if those decisions continued to be made... did your frustration grow? Did you start to moan about things? Did you start to grumble and whinge? Perhaps it gets to the point where you are so frustrated, it starts rippling out of you when you get home? Perhaps you are more snappy, intolerant and irritable? Maybe you even had an argument with a partner, husband or wife over nothing? You may have even lost your temper with the kids?

I am sure you have... I know I have over the years.

It all comes down to the Leadership competency, and believe it or not, the training.

I presented an International Leadership Development Conference last week to over 110 people in the room. I asked how many people in the room had received any professional Leadership training, development or coaching.

Do you know how many people put their hand up.... 2.

Just 2 people had been given some form of professional Leadership training, development or coaching. That is 1.82% of the room!

So what about the other 108, where did they get their Leadership skills from?

When I asked them, the answers generally were around "I learnt from my Leaders when I was younger" "I did what they did and worked the rest out as I went along"

Can you see where those frustrating Leadership decisions that I spoke about earlier come from? It is not because they are crap Leaders, it is not because they are not doing the best they can with what they have at the time... it is because they have not been given any formal training.

Yet, I am sure you make sure that they have all the formal training, certificates etc to do the job they're employed to do. However, when they are put in front of your most valuable resource, your people, and told to Lead them.... it falls in to the "she'll be right bucket" or as one person shared with me... "I did what they did and worked the rest out as I went along"

It is complete and utter madness to have your most valuable resource being Lead and managed by an untrained person... you wouldn't ask an unqualified person to jump in the forklift and unload $1000's worth of equipment of the back of truck would you?

Yet, when it comes to your leadership team, you may find yourself at a loss, grappling with the daunting task of bridging the gap between where you are and where you aspire to be.

Then when you look at the reason why businesses do not train their people in Leadership skills, the most common answer is that it is too expensive, and they cannot afford it.

Then they have to deal with the ripple effects of poor Leadership, which include, high turnover, HR issues, poor work ethic, KPI and deadlines being missed, client complaints.... the list goes on and on and on. Yet they can afford all that these things cost, but can't afford Leadership training.
