<p class="ql-align-justify"><strong>What is the most profound challenge facing business today?</strong></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p class="ql-align-justify">Inflation? Interest rates? Economic growth? No, these are exogenous and transitory issues. Supply chains? Shifting consumer demands? Think again. The most important obstacles inhibiting success are internal.&nbsp;Leaders are told to "burn bright"; instead, they burn out, feeling that the burden of success rests on their shoulders alone. Every organization must confront a trinity of issues, if it wishes to succeed in the 21st century:</p><p class="ql-align-justify">&nbsp;</p><ul><li class="ql-align-justify"><strong>The Disengagement Pandemic</strong>. Globally, only 1 in 5 employees is actively engaged in their work and committed to their company's success. A disengaged workforce impacts productivity, affects mental health and is estimated to cost the US economy more than $8 trillion annually.</li></ul><p class="ql-align-justify">&nbsp;</p><ul><li class="ql-align-justify"><strong>Human 'Resources'</strong>.

How many times have you embarked on a project, only to discover, months later, that you and your teammates have gone in different directions? Alignment snafus routinely cost companies money and time.</li></ul><p class="ql-align-justify">&nbsp;</p><p class="ql-align-justify"><em>Activate the Third Space</em> presents a clear, easy-to-implement model to foster engagement, promote clear communication and ensure alignment.&nbsp;Bill Cornwell's extensive experience facilitating corporate workshops and coaching senior leaders to reach their full potential provides the basis for a captivating tale that will transform modern organizations.
