Executive leadership team dinner at waterfront venue during strategic planning retreat
Leadership Retreat

Leadership Fuel

Your leadership team has vision, strategy and talent.

Yet we have a major leadership gap that is not spoken about widely enough. In a Western World where we are trained on rationalising our feelings, emphatic skills can get shuttered. With the rise of AI we are under tremendous pressure and we need more amplification of our human side than ever before.

Companies, leaders and talent are under pressure to do more with less - meanwhile we receive more influx than ever before.

The Data

Why Leadership Engagement Matters

Managers and leaders account for 70% of team engagement enablement

When leadership is disengaged, it spreads like wildfire through your organization. The numbers don't lie as Gallup reveals in their Global Workplace Report 2025.

Manager Engagement

Dropped to 27% while costing the global economy $438 billion in lost productivity according to Gallup's Global Workplace Report 2025.

Daily Stress

41% of employees are experiencing daily stress a lot of the day, compared to a staggering 51% in the USA.

Potential Unlock

If organizations operated at 70% engagement, that could unlock $9.6 trillion in productivity. About 9,600 unicorns grazing in the wild.

The Edge

What Legendary Leadership Teams Build

Strategic Clarity That Survives Chaos

Cut through noise to identify what actually matters. When every business is being reshuffled, teams with clear priorities win.

Engagement That Cascades

Leaders who reconnect with purpose naturally inspire their teams. When leadership forges connection through shared experience, strategic alignment becomes natural.

Communication That Moves Fast

In rapid-moving markets, the speed of trust determines the speed of execution. When leadership teams align deeply, decisions happen faster and land harder.

Diversity as Competitive Advantage

70% of unicorns have 'underdog' founders. The future belongs to leaders who build on inclusion and global perspectives.
