So Goes the Leader, So Goes the Team

StandOut data shows that receiving frequent attention from your team leader is strongly correlated to engagement at work. An impressive 47% of those who get weekly attention from their team leaders (in the form of StandOut Check-Ins) are Fully Engaged, as compared to only 21% of those who receive no attention at all.

Does this mean that all attention is created equal? Not necessarily. Team leaders who learn to focus on team members’ strengths create an environment of trust and support that drives results. But, just like the people they lead, individual team leaders have unique strengths that can be developed to help them make their greatest positive impact on the team. That’s why, instead of taking a “one size fits all” approach to leader development, StandOut offers technology and training built on the principle that “one size fits one.”

Develop Leaders with StandOut

StandOut Technology

Through our StandOut technology platform, leaders have access to what they need to know about their team members and how each person feels about the work from one week to the next. The ritual of Check-Ins is an effective and easy way for team leaders to provide the attention their people need, creating happier and more productive team members. StandOut helps leaders sustain the habits that get results.

StandOut also makes it easy for any team leader to see how the team is doing overall. Engagement Pulse is an eight-question survey that puts aggregated results directly in the hands of each team leader, while also providing org leaders with data that paints a picture of engagement across business units or the entire organization.

StandOut Workshops and Coaching

Where StandOut technology helps your leaders ritualize proven practices of the world’s best leaders, our workshop experiences help your leaders explore where their personal strengths can make their jobs easier and more fulfilling. Each workshop is based on a rich history of research into the proven practices of high-performing team leaders who get results.
