Leadership has been a big thing for us lately; it was one of the biggest issues identified in our Senior HR Network questionnaire.  I can’t remember a time when I worked with people who didn’t have an opinion about the capabilities of their leaders.  Maybe I am one of the lucky ones, but the vast majority of the people I work with now have much positive information to share.  Examples of good leadership have included leaders driving culture change, leaders getting their hands dirty when it counts, and leaders who were all about their teams.

I am one of those people though, who likes to have the evidence to support the claim and so we’ve been looking at how companies measure their leaders.   Whilst we were researching that, I came across a company called Engagement Multiplier.  It wasn’t the first time I’d heard of them – one or two of my clients are already signed up and are absolutely advocates.  So I took a closer look, liked what I found and decided to talk to them some more. They took me on a demo, answered the 1001 and questions Andrew and I came up with, and convinced us that we were ideal partners.   Not least because our new clients are usually in the midst of significant change when they come to us.  Of course, there is nothing like change to highlight how well leaders are doing, and Engagement Multiplier even has a survey specifically aimed at helping you understand your leadership gap.
