Last week I presented in collaboration with APQC the survey results of the Kelly Global Workforce Index-The Leadership Disconnect.This survey examines the issue of leadership in the contemporary workplace from the employee perspective. It explores the way that workers think about the quality, direction, and style of leadership, and the degree to which they share the goals of those who head their organizations. This research brings together the findings from almost 170,000 respondents from 30 countries and showcases the leadership issues across industry sectors, and globally, across the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific.
