Organizations often overlook one of the biggest drivers of employee engagement: manager quality.

Gallup research finds that companies fail to choose candidates with high managerial talent in 82% of their hiring decisions. That’s a costly mistake when managers account for at least 70% of the variance in team engagement and play a critical role in shaping high-performing cultures.

Gallup CEO Jon Clifton joins @channelnewsasia to share the latest workplace insights and the connection between management, engagement and performance.

Great leadership often starts with asking the right questions.

Peter Drucker articulated this idea decades ago. Edward Jones built a management system around it, and Managing Partner Penny Pennington continues to lead by it.

It begins with a series of essential questions: Who is your customer? What do they value? What can you uniquely provide? Are you building the capabilities to deliver it? What is your plan? And how will you know if you're succeeding?

The questions may appear straightforward, but for leaders, the answers often require constant reflection and adaptation.

In the latest Leading With Strengths interview, @scooterscoffee CEO Joe Thornton breaks down a challenge every growing organization faces: delivering a consistent brand experience while respecting what makes each location unique. In a national franchise system, that balance is essential.
