Webinar – Compassionate Accountability: Balancing results and talent retention

Many organizations find themselves stuck in one of two extremes. Either a conflict-averse culture where underperformance goes unchallenged, or a high-pressure accountability culture that drives burnout and pushes top talent out the door.

The cost of both extremes is significant. 33% of employees leave due to a poor work atmosphere or bad management, 26% cite stress and burnout as their primary reason to quit (SD Worx, 2024), and manager engagement has dropped to just 22% (Gallup, 2023). It is no surprise that leadership development is now a top priority for 60% of companies (Vlerick Business School & Hudson, 2024).

In this webinar, Sven Gellens explores how 21st-century leadership requires integrating compassion and accountability as reinforcing drivers of performance, not treating them as opposites. He will share how to operationalize this in practice and what it costs your organization when you don’t.
