As the season shifts, so does employee loyalty. Leadership missteps are prompting a wave of job-seeking—and as coaches, we’re in the middle of it.
Spring is here—and with it comes reflection, growth… and resignation letters.
📊 Nearly 6 in 10 employees are either actively job hunting or open to new roles in 2025.
That’s not just a statistic. That’s a wake-up call.
And the root cause?👉 It’s not compensation.👉 It’s not remote work.👉 It’s not ping-pong tables.
It’s leadership.
🌱 When Leaders Don't Grow, People Go
This season reveals what’s been dormant all winter—disengagement, misalignment, poor communication, and the slow erosion of trust in teams.
We don’t need to guess why top talent is leaving—we hear it in our coaching sessions:
❌ “I never get feedback.”
❌ “Leadership is reactive.”
❌ “There’s no real growth path here.”
❌ “The culture doesn’t match what they preach.”
👩💼 Coaches, This Is Our Moment
As leadership and team coaches, we can’t solve the talent crisis—but we can help prevent it.
Here’s how we guide leaders through this spring awakening:
✅ Hold up the mirror – Use tools like the Energy Leadership Index or 360 feedback to build self-awareness.
✅ Reconnect them to purpose – Purpose-driven leaders create magnetic cultures.
✅ Coach real conversations – Help leaders open space for growth, feedback, and vision.
✅ Tend to the culture – What kind of leadership environment are they actually creating?
⚠️ The Message for Leaders Is Clear:
If you’re not intentionally growing your leadership, you might be unintentionally growing your turnover rate.
