\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\nFor me, the answer is a clear NO, because the future is NOW and the good news is that we already have the tools within us.
\nWe just need to become aware of them and adjust our mindset to the present we are leading in! <\/p>\n
If we were to briefly state what the task of the “leaders of the future” is, it must be to adapt their leadership to the skills, behaviors and attitudes that will be required tomorrow.
\nIt’s about sharpening our senses and being aware of what’s happening around us and adapting to the developments that are constantly taking place.
\nThe challenge lies in making ourselves – and those we lead – aware of, and comfortable with, the fact that development is happening far faster than it is natural for humans to evolve. <\/p>\n
When I look around the landscape, I fundamentally believe that we have lost our priorities when it comes to creating healthy and sustainable growth in companies.
\nThe 3 main focus areas of growth, employee satisfaction and customer loyalty are out of balance, and due to time pressures and expectations of quick results, the focus is rigidly on growth and profit – and to a lesser extent, what creates it! <\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
I have no doubt that the balance between well-being and profit is key to our success or failure – also in our leadership<\/p>\n
I am convinced (and can see from several of my courses) that if we start focusing on employee well-being, customer loyalty and thus the foundation for the economy that can create growth will come all by itself.
\nIt is also the prerequisite for attracting and retaining the workforce we need to achieve our business goals. <\/p>\n
The reality is, unfortunately, that this balance is extremely poor.
\nIn Gallup’s latest “State of the Global Workforce” report, only 16% of employees in Denmark are engaged at work.
\n73% are disengaged and 11% are actively disengaged, which is directly detrimental to workplace culture and well-being.
\nThese are staggering figures, and an incredible amount of money is spent on salaries for employees who have so much more potential. <\/p>\n
Analysis from Bain & Company shows that engaged employees are 44% more productive than satisfied employees and if we manage to create inspired employees, we can increase productivity by 125%.
\nSo there is a lot of money hidden in good leadership. <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
So how do we realize the huge potential of motivating our employees and increasing productivity and well-being?
\nIt requires us to work much more with awareness and mindset and realize that it’s time to “unlearn and relearn” much of what we currently know about leadership. <\/p>\n
Awareness is, among other things, looking into habits and behaviors, as well as being clear and conscious about the answers to two simple (but difficult) questions:<\/p>\n
