EDUCATION
The Cost of Ineffective Leadership
Replacing a middle manager costs 50% to 150% of their annual salary. For an $80,000 salary, that’s $40,000 to $120,000 per replacement. Ineffective leadership impacts budgets, slows productivity, disrupts morale, and delays critical projects. By investing in leadership development, organizations see dramatic improvements in retention, engagement, and performance—saving time, resources, and money.
