The window of opportunity is still open

We are unbelievably excited about our future opportunities! 

Andy Grove, the former CEO of Intel, said, “Bad companies are destroyed by crisis. Good companies survive them. Great companies are improved by them.” The changes caused by this crisis present the most important challenge and the most important opportunity our business has ever seen.

 A Gallup study shows that the number of full-time employees working remotely has doubled in just the past month. Many of the recent trends and global changes are playing right to our strengths:

 1. The Remote Work Statistics Survey ranked organizational skills as the most critical for remote workers.

 2. Udemy research found 53% of managers want to improve their time management skills.

 3. LinkedIn just discovered that Time Management was the most searched learning option. LinkedIn also found that due to downtime and time saved from commuting, that hours spent learning has gone up almost 50%.

 4. A survey by OnePoll and Citrix showed that over one-third of remote workers feel overwhelmed with their new role.

 5. A SmartPulse survey disclosed that the number one concern of managers is that they are not effectively developing their remote workers.

 6. i4cp recently found that 15% of companies have increased their leadership development saying it is a perfect time given the captive audience. A full 60% of organizations are encouraging their leaders to pursue additional leadership development opportunities.

 7. Inc. found in a recent study that 41% of remote workers struggle with work-life balance.

 8. A very large percentage of remote workers suffer from loneliness. It is absolutely vital for remote workers to participate in facilitated group learning, even if online/virtually, rather than just consuming individual self-paced online content.

 9. In Primed to Perform, the authors discovered that remote workers were about 20-25% less motivated than in-office workers.

 The need has never been greater for leaders and managers to fully retire fear and incentive motivation and move completely to intrinsic/attitude self-motivation with their people.

 The world is not only ready for what we do, but it is also absolutely starving for our process and Concept!
