Hewitt is the co-author with Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen of The Power of Focus (more info at thepoweroffocus.ca).

Mastering the Message: Ogilvy Becomes the Most Wanted Man in Advertising
“Don't bunt,” Ogilvy once said. “Aim out of the ball park. Aim for the company of immortals.” It was with this attitude that Ogilvy returned to New York and decided to start up his own advertising agency. With the financial backing of his former employers Mather & Crowther, the company Hewitt, Ogilvy, Benson & Mather was founded in 1948. He had never written an advertisement in his life, and had only $6,000 to his name, but it was a dream that Ogilvy wanted to see through.

Reduce Employee Turnover Costs
There are many statistics and complex methodologies to support the notion that employee turnover costs are seriously affecting mid-sized enterprises. On the low end, the Hay Group reports that the cost to replace an employee is 50% of their total compensation, including benefits. On the high-end, Hewitt & Associates puts the cost between 100-150% of annual compensation. While executive management and sales staff are more costly to replace, churn in any function affects the bottom-line.
Global Employee Engagement Declining
Most recent study of employee engagement levels by Hewitt Associates found that engagement levels at the end of the June 2010 quarter represented the largest decline Hewitt has seen in 15 years.
Th Case for Charismatic Leadership
Research shows that Charismatic Leaders and Charismatic Managers have more impact and influence, and are better able to transform workforce attitudes, beliefs and behaviours. Global research by Hewitt Associates who pioneered the measurement of employee engagement in the early 1990s found that employee engagement is higher at double-digit growth companies. The quickest and most cost-effective way to build high levels of engagement is by developing the charismatic potential of the leadership teams.
