Leadership Behaviours and Employee Engagement in the Twenty-First Century
Established by Ian Price, Grimsdyke Consulting helps leaders and organisations increase effectiveness at work and reduce the barriers to great leadership and employee engagement. Grimsdyke’s special area of expertise is information overload driven by communications technology and how to avoid it.
Research shows that as much of 12% of payroll costs are spent on ineffective use of email that drains your organisation’s time and energy*. It also shows that interruptions over multiple information channels sap our cognitive ability and reduce effectiveness. The frenetic use of mobiles and Blackberries leads to a culture of “virtual presenteeism” with consequences for the quality of both our working and personal lives. The traditional virtues of delegation and people management risk being forgotten.
The impacts of information overload and the accompanying “cult of busyness” are now so pervasive that tackling them offers the organisation a genuine source of competitive advantage. In order to address the issue, Grimsdyke Consulting employs the latest thinking in evolutionary psychology to understand why we work the way we do. We then deliver highly effective practical solutions.
