The Real Cost of Leadership Culture Gaps | Sage & Summit Podcast

Most organizations can tell you their turnover rate. Almost none can tell you what that rate is actually costing them, in dollars, in strategic capacity, and in the talent that leaves quietly before anyone notices.
In this episode, Marderé Birkill walks through the three numbers every senior leader should run on their own organization: the retention floor, the bottleneck ratio, and the strategic time gap. Together, they reveal what your leadership culture is costing you, and where the cost is coming from.
What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why the most expensive leadership culture patterns are built by excellent leaders, not incompetent ones
• The story of Emily: a senior leader who was three weeks away from losing two of her best people and didn’t know it, The Bottleneck Tax, the Retention Drain, and the Capacity Ceiling. and the specific number that quantifies each one
• The one question that surfaces bottleneck patterns in any leadership team within forty minutes
