PEOPLE.Great leaders do more than lead. They shape what comes next.
The impact of leadership extends far beyond a title or position.
The right leader influences culture, inspires teams and creates the foundation for sustainable growth.
That is why leadership decisions require more than identifying experience.
They require understanding vision, values and the impact someone can create.
At NORVA, we believe exceptional organisations are built by exceptional people: leaders who bring clarity, purpose and progress.
Because the right leadership choice today can define the opportunities of tomorrow.
Leadership and the employee experience
Gallup reports that managers account for at least 70% of the variance in team engagement. Its global indicator also shows that 20% of employees were engaged in 2025. The 70% figure concerns variation between teams; it does not mean a manager determines 70% of every employee’s performance.
Assess how a leader enables others
Our view is that leadership interviews should explore what happens around a leader, not only what appears on their CV. Ask for examples of developing colleagues, clarifying priorities and handling difficult feedback. Consider the support and authority the organisation will provide, too. A strong appointment needs the conditions in which to lead effectively.
