Disengagement isn’t just about morale. It’s a systems issue that affects performance, outcomes, and how energy flows through your organization. If things feel slower or heavier than they should, there’s likely a deeper misalignment worth exploring.

Twenty-six percent of employees report receiving no feedback in the past year. Without structured feedback loops, organizations drift. Strategy stalls, performance erodes, and teams operate without clear alignment. Leaders must treat feedback as a core system, not an optional soft skill.
