Confidence and energy are leading indicators of corporate performance.

As leaders become de-energized and lose confidence in themselves, these emotions are transferred to employees. Employee engagement and long-term improvements in corporate performance can't be accomplished with a burned out, low energy and low confidence leadership team.

Leadership Pulse research shows that, across the board, leaders' energy at work is going down and their confidence is declining. The Leadership Pulse research comes from a sample of over 4,000 executives who participate in short, real-time, eePulse surveys conducted every two months. In the May 2005 survey, the business confidence of worldwide executives in their own personal leadership and management skills slipped to 88% from 92% in the summer of 2004. While the confidence in their firm's ability to change as needed dropped to 56% from 65%.

Compared to scores from last year at this time, the overall energy reported by executives dropped from 6.72 to 6.25. The percent of people reporting to be in the overall, "high-energy" zones dropped from 62% to 53%. "We've actually seen over the last year a continuous trend downward in these numbers," said Dr. Theresa Welbourne, president and CEO of eePulse, (www.eePulse.com) and an adjunct professor of executive education at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. "I think the people issue is starting to come to the forefront of organizations' radar screens. They can't take it for granted anymore, but they don't have the bench strength to really deal with the issue."
