A recent study by PWC highlights a critical gap in many workplaces between leadership and employees perceptions.
Key findings:
Employees: My manager supports small-scale failures (35%)
CEO: Our managers support small-scale failures (46%)
Employees: My manager encourages open debate (33%)
CEO: Our managers encourage open debate (56%)
🔑 Why it matters: Innovation and engagement thrive in environments where risk-taking and open dialogue are encouraged. However, a culture of fear or conformity stifles creativity and leads to disengagement and job turnover.
As leaders, we must:
✅ Foster a culture that values and encourages innovation and calculated risk-taking.
✅ Understand the day-to-day experiences of our frontline employees.
✅ Use tools like surveys and focus groups for deeper insights into our company culture.
👥 Let’s bridge the gap between leadership intention and employee experience, creating workplaces that are true incubators of creativity and innovation.
