World-renowned thought leader John Kotter, who studied 32 companies over an eleven-year period, observed exponential growth in revenue, stock price, and net income.

These ideas have been further reinforced by a Grant Thorton study in 2019

This study showed public that companies with extremely healthy cultures are 2.5 times more likely to have significant stock price increases. And companies with extremely healthy cultures are 1.5 times more likely to have average revenue growth of 15% or more for the past 3 years.

75% of companies believe that culture is critical to business performance…

…according to that same Grant Thorton study. And yet, 69% of the companies don’t measure culture and 87% don’t regularly survey employees to determine priorities.
