Eliminating that Sunday Night Feeling In Australia/New Zealand, employee engagement scores fall below worldwide engagement levels, despite employees rating satisfaction in their overall life higher than any other global region (Gallup, 2017).

Only 14% of employees in Australia/New Zealand are engaged.

Managers and leaders are in a unique position to improve the everyday experiences of their employees and bridge this gap, eliminating that Sunday night feeling – that sense of dread that stems from a job or workplace culture people don’t want to be part of. What if our managers were well equipped to lead their teams in a meaningful way that inspires comradeship, positivity and a united focus –supporting individuals to be the best they can be and creating a great team culture? A team that receives clear goals, open communication and structured guidance from an inspired, empathetic and self-aware leader will produce the right energy and results to ensure that no-one dreads Monday morning, including the manager. It’s time for us to deepen leadership training using NLP Coaching, develop more Mindful Managers and in turn, build workplaces our employees are proud to be part of.

Unfortunately, most organisations still rely on hierarchy and technical skills when hiring managers, rather than taking a holistic view of someone’s leadership potential.

Bridging the Gap Between Leadership Training and Real Life In addition to developing Mindful Managers, it’s important to bridge the gap between leadership concepts taught in the training room and the reality of management in the board room. Page 25
