You can teach someone to sell, but you can't teach them to love selling. Understanding an individual's motivations and cognitive abilities enables employers to match people to jobs that fit best with their natural abilities, not just experiences.
The cost of getting a new employee up-to-speed is typically 35-100% of their annual pay. We help employers use workforce analytics to hire, or promote, the person with greatest chance of success.
Team-based work is more critical than ever, yet poor
communication, insufficient collaboration, and inability to manage the tensions inherent to teamwork continue to extract a massive tax on productivity and innovation. There is a science to effective team dynamics. At Seabold Consulting, we take a data-driven approach to assembling teams and building healthy team dynamics.
To ensure effective leadership for your organization, you must:
1. Map leadership competencies to the business strategy.
2. Identify senior leaders’ fit to the required competencies.
3. Develop and execute a plan to address leadership gaps.
4. Embrace a philosophy of “leaders at every level."
We guide leadership teams through this process, providing the data, analyzing results, and asking the questions that senior leadership teams need to answer.
To be productive and engaged, employees need to feel they belong. When they feel out of tune with their organization’s values, or when they lose
trust in their leadership, their own performance suffers, and they can create a toxic work environment that undermines productivity.
Culture is not what you post on the wall. It is what the leaders do, what gets rewarded and what gets tolerated. A culture that supports the business strategy is intentionally designed, executed, and protected.
We help organizations align their culture with their business strategy and understand how their behaviors support and undermine that culture.
