Dale Carnegie Study: Change Clarity Collapses at Execution Level

New York – September 08, 2026 -- Only 48.2% of individual contributors believe their organization is "on the same page" during change initiatives, compared with 79.4% of leaders, according to a new white paper from Dale Carnegie.

Leadership credibility gaps widen among frontline staff

Just 27% of employees strongly believe their immediate leader's actions consistently align with stated messages, a figure that drops to 18.5% among individual contributors.

BWA managing director Harald Müller pointed to a recent survey from the Institute of German Economy (IW), which found companies plan to cut nearly 30 percent of positions this year, calling that figure only the starting point of a larger shift. He argued the combination of rising energy costs and AI-driven automation will eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs across both industrial and office roles, layered on top of losses already underway in the automotive sector.
