Can one simple question predict the health of your entire organization?
In this episode of The Performance Quotient, Will Lindstrom sits down with Stanley Liebowitz – founder and CEO of Predixxa and advisor to more than 450 organizations – to unpack one of the most surprising insights in organizational performance: how employees answer the question “Does my immediate supervisor care about my growth and development?”
Stanley discovered that when employees answer yes, engagement, productivity, and customer satisfaction metrics soar. But when the answer is maybe or no, performance indicators plummet across the board. This insight has reshaped how companies diagnose alignment and measure culture.
Highlights Covered:
- How one company went from near-bankruptcy to record-breaking sales by focusing on manager care
- Why culture isn’t monolithic – every department has its microculture driven by its manager
- Tools like diagnostics, brainstorming, and multivoting that turn data into collaborative solutions
- Why uncovering blind spots at the department level creates sustainable performance gains for the organization
- How small improvements in performance and costs can yield double-digit revenue growth.
Stanley’s work demonstrates that caring leadership isn’t just “soft”—it’s a predictive indicator of organizational resilience, growth, and profitability.
