DEATH HAPPENS
HOW WILL YOU LEAD YOUR
GRIEVING TEAM?
COMBINGING EMPATHY AND PRODUCTIVITY TO BUILD RESILIENT LEADERS AND TEAMS
Death Destroys Teams
An employee's death can devastate a team, costing millions in lost productivity, engagement, and innovation. Yet organizations often do little beyond deploying their EAP, leaving team leaders to "figure out" how to
support their grieving teams.
That is no longer enough.
In today's competitive landscape, the "figure it out" approach no longer cuts it. Organizations need to provide
their leaders with substantial support in dealing with the challenges of death.
To thrive, organizations must cultivate leaders whose skill set includes resilience building
and an ability to balance empathy AND productivity.
Death is tough, but it's also an opportunity. It's a chance for organizations to develop a new breed of courageous leaders - leaders who can face difficult situations while fostering resilient, collaborative teams that balance
empathy with productivity.
Grief at work is not something to figure out. It’s something to thrive through.
Learn how the LEAP Leadership method can help your organization transcend the challenges of death and build resilient, courageous leaders who can give your organization a competitive edge.
