LEADERSHIP IN YOUR ORGANIZATION

With each generation entering the workplace, a greater

emphasis is placed on continual development as

these new employees know that they are unlikely to

stay more than a few years;

…IT’S ABOUT WHAT THEY CAN DEVELOP AND

ACQUIRE TO TAKE TO THE NEXT STOP IN THE CAREER

JOURNEY.

We know that effective leaders are one of the most

important influences on levels of engagement.
