The secret to women’s leadership that can drive such a positive impact

The answer is simple: Invest in women. New data compiled by global consulting firm Potential Project, where I am a partner, found that employee disengagement translates into significant organizational expense (due to absenteeism and lower productivity). But, there is a sizable difference in how this shows up in women-led teams versus those led by men. In fact, we found that by driving more engaged employees, women leaders save their organizations $1.43 million for every 1,000 employees.
