The Leadership Crisis No One Can Afford to Ignore (And How to Fix It)

There’s a storm brewing inside today’s businesses, and most leaders don’t even know it’s happening.

The 2025 Gallup State of the Global Workplace Report pulled back the curtain on what many of you are already sensing:

  • 70% of engagement is directly tied to the manager.
  • Over 50% of employees are actively job hunting.
  • Only 28% of managers say they’re thriving.
  • Only 21% of employees are engaged.

These aren’t just statistics. They’re real-world symptoms of what leaders everywhere are facing, quiet quitting, cultural drift, misalignment, and burnout.

But while the data might be new, the underlying issues aren’t.

You’re Not Facing a Motivation Problem—You’re Facing a Leadership Development Problem

We work with leaders across industries—from construction to healthcare to creative services—and the stories are always eerily similar:

  • Teams feel disconnected
  • Turnover is rising
  • Managers are reactive instead of proactive
  • Owners are stuck in the weeds, exhausted and isolated

This is exactly why Chris LoCurto exists:
To address these leadership breakdowns at every level of your organization—and fix them from the inside out.

Which Leader Are You?

We’ve structured our programs to meet leaders exactly where they are:

The Business Owner or President:

You’re carrying the vision, making the big decisions, and trying to hold the culture together, while juggling team issues, burnout, and unclear priorities.
Your solution? Next-Level Mastermind
“The Mastermind program has helped me run my business so much better! I’ve gained back a bunch of time, seeing great results from my leaders now, and I have so much more flexibility in life today.”
Jeffrey Weaver, Owner, Weaver Excavating & Septic

The Leadership Team or Department Heads:

Your team needs to row in the same direction, but everyone’s paddling in chaos. You’re putting out fires instead of moving forward.
Your solution? StratPlan
“StratPlan was a game-changer for our leadership team. It brought much-needed clarity and alignment, helping us recognize when we’re rowing in different directions and course-correct faster. The support from our coach after the event kept us focused and accountable, which made a huge difference in actually implementing what we planned.”
Wes Dill, COO, Atlanta Painting Company

The Manager or Key Leader in the Middle:

You’re stuck in the Leadership Crazy Cycle—spinning plates, handling team drama, and struggling to grow into the leader you know you could be.
Your solution? Key Leader Program
“I highly recommend the Key Leaders Program! It got the leadership team to talk the same language in the areas of team culture, conflict resolution, and time management. The initial focus on taming the whirlwind of daily tasks helped move my key personnel on a path to take control of their days and give themselves the space to grow into the leaders they are.”
Joe Lucas, CEO, Breiner Co, Inc.

You don’t need more hustle.
