Ineffective CEO leadership can create more problems than it solves and can cause organizational performance to suffer, sometimes dramatically. CEO effectiveness has a large measurable impact: McKinsey estimates up to 45% of a company's performance variation is directly tied to CEO effectiveness. Managerial and leadership quality strongly affects engagement: Gallup reports managers and leaders account for 70% of the variance in employee engagement. Poor top leadership produces cascading consequences across the organization, reducing performance and engagement and amplifying operational and cultural problems throughout the company.
"When a CEO's leadership style creates more problems than it solves, organizational performance can suffer-sometimes dramatically. Research from McKinsey shows that up to 45% of a company's performance variation is directly tied to the effectiveness of its CEO. Gallup finds that managers and leaders account for 70% of the variance in employee engagement. In other words, when leadership goes wrong at the top, the consequences cascade quickly."
