“Leading Holistically and the Impact on Employee Retention”
As corporate America transitions into the 21st Century, the need for effective leadership that can transcend employees from all cultural and educational backgrounds is essential. The success of organizations depends on leaders who can yield the results necessary to be competitive, retain employees, and generate net income. This book explored and measured employee retention at a private sector, non-profit organization in the Washington, DC metropolitan area and several other companies over a six week period to determine if leading holistically, defined as integration of the body, mind, and spirit (Von Krosigk, 2006), was a viable leadership style that could meet the organizational challenges of the twenty-first century, specifically retention of knowledge-worker employees. According to Von Krosigk, holistic leaders use their emotional intelligence to understand and make critical decisions that impact the organization on the whole.
The question is what type of leader are you and what type of leader would you prefer to work for in this 21st Century knowledge worker landscape?
The Book will reveal the following:
• Types of Leadership Styles that Correlate with Holistic Leadership
• Employee Leadership Preferences
• Attributes of Holistic Leadership
• Examples of Holistic Leaders
