Why Leveraged Execution Matters in Leadership

  • Reclaim lost productivity: US tech companies lose an estimated $37 billion annually due to ineffective meetings. For a 500-person company, that's approximately $18.5 million a year. This program can help recapture up to 20% of that lost time, directly impacting your bottom line.
  • Accelerate innovation cycles: According to a McKinsey study, tech employees spend 35% of their work week in meetings. Streamlining these sessions can speed up product development cycles by up to 15%, giving you a competitive edge in the fast-paced tech market.
  • Enhance cross-functional collaboration: Break down silos that cost tech organizations up to 25% of their productive capacity. Learn techniques that other top tech managers use to make meetings a catalyst for interdepartmental synergy, crucial for complex tech projects.
  • Boost employee retention: 67% of workers cite unproductive meetings as a major source of job dissatisfaction in a recent Korn Ferry report. Improve meeting effectiveness to increase engagement and potentially reduce turnover costs, which average 100-150% of a tech employee's salary.
  • Optimize remote and hybrid workflows: With 76% of tech companies adopting hybrid models, learn how to run engaging virtual meetings that bridge the gap between in-office and remote team members, ensuring consistent productivity across all work environments.
