Summary

Small businesses are feeling the strain of a growing leadership gap — and the numbers tell a powerful story. Nearly half of small businesses that took our recent organizational wellbeing poll say they lack effective leaders internally, and almost one in three rate their current leadership effectiveness as only average or poor*.

In this newest audiocast episode, we explore what's driving today's leadership challenges, why so many organizations feel unprepared to fill a critical leadership vacancy, and what small businesses can do to build stronger, more resilient leaders. We'll share practical insights and actionable steps small businesses can take to close the leadership gap and strengthen their talent pipeline.
