Well-led teams are 21% more productive, according to a global survey conducted by Gallup, a global research and consulting firm. The study highlights that the leader's role is a determining factor in the motivation and performance of employees, which directly influences a company's results. This reality has driven the search for well-rounded leadership professionals with technical, human, and strategic skills. In Brazil, this scenario is experienced firsthand by major business leaders such as Reginaldo Boeira, president of KNN Group, who applies a methodology focused on developing engaged and high-performing teams.
Boeira's leadership is based on recognizing and continuously developing employees. Leading a group of nearly 20 companies, including one of the largest language franchise networks in the country with over 110,000 students and approximately 450 franchisees, he constantly implements adjusted processes that encourage individual and collective growth. To this end, he annually launches reward programs based on performance metrics, provides regular training aligned with market trends and new technologies, and fosters a culture open to feedback and suggestions.
The businessman, who has also written a book on "how to make money and achieve success" and annually gathers thousands of entrepreneurs at his congresses and conferences, believes that investing in human potential is the key to success, including dealing with new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, which, according to him, can be effective depending on the "human who operates it." These procedures not only improve operational results but also increase team satisfaction and commitment. "The success of a company is inevitably a result of the development of the people who are part of it," he says.
"Starting with talent identification and job placement aligned with the employee's experience and profile, and results analysis, there is the fundamental process of recognition that sometimes goes unnoticed in organizations. However, when an employee is producing, generating results, and perceives that they are recognized and encouraged to grow, they become even more committed and an active part of the business's purpose," emphasizes Boeira.
Beyond internal human resources initiatives, the entrepreneur adopts strategies that strengthen communication between company leaders and employees. To this end, he promotes in-person meetings, lectures, and conventions that bring managers closer to the operational reality and the needs of the team. These actions are reinforced by internal organizational climate surveys, which help identify areas for improvement and anticipate challenges. According to a Deloitte study, 75% of business leaders believe that the quality of leadership is the main competitive differentiator in a scenario of transformation. For Boeira, this perception is confirmed in daily practice.
“It’s not enough to master processes and tools. Today’s leader needs to inspire, listen to, and understand the motivations of the team. When there is this genuine connection, the work flows, the results appear, and people grow together,” emphasizes the businessman. With this vision, KNN Idiomas, one of his companies, has achieved prominence in the educational sector, maintaining high levels of internal satisfaction and constant expansion. Practical experience shows that well-prepared leaders, with a close and empathetic approach, have the power to transform the organizational environment and enhance results.
