Have you checked the Soul Index? One of the most pressing questions for corporate leaders today is how do I build and sustain a human-centric performance culture? At a time when 10,000 baby boomers retire every day, 79% of employees quit their jobs because they don’t feel appreciated at their workplace, and 69% of millennials see a lack of potential for leadership development in their companies, Building Corporate Soul sets out to transform the performance and value of organizations―and to make soulless companies a thing of the past.
In this episode, Ralf Specht shares his unique framework, The Soul System™, that aligns value-creating employee behaviors with corporate strategy through shared understanding and shared purpose and how every leader, no matter the industry, can ignite (or re-ignite) the corporate soul in their firm. Based on the latest research and real-life cases, this actionable framework shows how to build a culture at the workplace that is both human centric and success driven.
