Welcome to Week 4 of October's "Tricks and Treats" series. This week, we're unveiling the data that leaders need to see before planning 2026.
The headlines have been relentless. Gallup's latest engagement statistics read like a workforce horror story: employee engagement at an 11-year low, quiet quitting haunting every corridor, and disconnection spreading through organizations like a contagion no one knows how to cure.
The call is coming from inside the house.
While industry leaders have been frantically searching for solutions in the graveyard of failed initiatives, we've been quietly collecting something different: actual data on what's really happening inside teams.
Beyond the Doom and Gloom
Our most recent State of Teams Report revealed something the doomsday prophets weren't telling you—that beneath the surface-level despair, there were pockets of teams thriving in ways that defied the narrative. Teams that had cracked the code on cohesion, found clarity in the chaos, and built the courage to fail forward.
But that was just the beginning of the story.
What's Lurking in Q3?
In this most recent State of Teams, we went deeper. We examined teams across industries, sectors, and organizational structures to uncover the patterns no one else is tracking. And what we found? Let's just say some industries are absolutely crushing it while others are... well, let's save that reveal for the report.
The Q3 State of Teams Report doesn't just rehash the grim statistics you've already seen. It shows you:
Which industries are thriving (and which ones took an unexpected tumble)
The hidden dynamics separating high-performing teams from those barely surviving
The specific dimensions where teams are losing ground—and where they're gaining it
Benchmark data that finally gives you a fighting chance to measure what actually matters
The Truths No One Else Is Measuring
While everyone else is measuring engagement and eNPS, we're measuring the three dimensions that actually predict team performance: Cohesion, Clarity, and Courage.
Because here's the haunting truth: you can't fix what you can't see.
And most leaders? They're operating in the dark, throwing solutions at symptoms while the real problems remain buried in data no one is collecting.
Until now.
Don't Get Left in the Dark
The workforce isn't doomed. But it is transforming—and the teams that understand these shifts will thrive while others scramble to explain why their initiatives keep failing.
Join us for an exclusive 45-minute webinar where we'll unveil the findings from the Q3 State of Teams Report. You'll get:
A sneak peek at which industries are excelling in cohesion, clarity, and courage
The surprising sectors that declined—and the patterns that explain why
Quick wins leaders can implement immediately to raise their SKOR
Benchmark data you can use to position yourself as the expert in every strategic conversation
No matter your department, whether you're advising executives, leading a team, or supporting organizational development in HR, this insider intelligence will give you the strategic edge you've been missing.
This isn't another doom-and-gloom report about what's broken. This is your flashlight in the dark—showing you exactly where to look, what to measure, and how to move forward.
Don't let your teams become another cautionary tale.
