At this month’s 3to5 Club (the CEO Mastermind that Clayton facilitates in Calgary and online), we’re talking about Emotional Intelligence and Empathy (together “EQ”) being our #1 leadership skill.

At Achen Henderson CPAs we hire for ethos, and never what’s on a stakeholder’s resume (we barely even look at resumes anymore). Scary stuff, right? Wrong.

Check out this multi-year study by Gallup showing the 13 main factors of high-performing teams (none of which have to do with experience, skills, or education). Gallup’s Q12 Employee Engagement Survey – Gallup

From the survey, here they are:

  1. How satisfied are you with your company as a place to work?
  2. I know what is expected of me at work.
  3. I have the materials and equipment I need to do my work right.
  4. At work, I have the opportunity to do what I do best every day.
  5. In the last seven days, I have received recognition or praise for doing good work.
  6. My supervisor, or someone at work, seems to care about me as a person.
  7. There is someone at work who encourages my development.
  8. At work, my opinions seem to count.
  9. The mission or purpose of my company makes me feel my job is important.
  10. My associates or fellow employees are committed to doing quality work.
  11. I have a best friend at work.
  12. In the last six months, someone at work has talked to me about my progress.
  13. This last year, I have had opportunities at work to learn and grow.
