Creative Leadership
At The Conscious Non Conformist, we believe that creative leadership, or Leadership “Out of the Box”, can strengthen individual awareness, help develop a commitment to a purpose, and lead to a more powerful, healthy and harmonious person and culture.
Corporate culture is at the heart of a company’s survival and success. Culture also drives the talent pool a company can attract. Company perks certainly help, but it is really about engaging employees. Employees want to grown, learn, develop, and be valued for their ideas and diverse perspectives.
“70% of U.S. employees are not engaged at work. Worldwide, that figure jumps to 85%.” Gallup State of the Global Workplace, 2017
“Half of employees are actively searching for a new job.” Gallup State of the Global Workplace, 2017
