Independent studies at Harvard University and the London Business School revealed that “...over 70% of all change initiatives in corporations do not deliver the required results” and “...the most common cause of failure... insufficient focus on people.” The research data shows that:
- 70+% of organizations have low performing cultures
- 70+% of non-adaptive cultures are created by leadership
- 70+% of all employees are not engaged by their organizations
A similar study of Fortune 500 companies by the American Management Association found that “less than 50% of changes were successful and employee resistance was the main reason for failure.”
Additional Studies at the University of Michigan and by the Gallup Organization report that:
- 70+% of Leaders create defensive behavior as a direct result of their leadership
- 70+% of American workers are actively disengaged in their work
