The Leadership Gap: The Hidden Cost of Avoiding Team Development
Episode Summary
Avoiding team development might save time and money upfront, but the hidden costs can quietly drain your organization.
From turnover to low engagement, the ripple effects of underdeveloped leaders and teams are real.
Unpack what those costs look like—and what you can do instead.
Key Points:
The biggest cost of not developing your team isn’t financial—it’s cultural, relational, and long-term performance loss.
Undertrained leaders and unsupported teams lead to turnover, disengagement, and breakdowns in collaboration.
Development doesn’t have to be big or expensive—small, consistent learning opportunities can create real change.
