The Framework
The LHRP Framework
Leadership shapes hiring.
Hiring shapes retention.
Retention shapes performance.
The problem
Companies treat leadership, hiring, retention and performance as separate functions.
Different teams, different budgets, different strategies. But they are all part of the same system. When you treat them separately, you optimize in isolation and wonder why nothing improves. The problem is not the parts. The problem is the disconnection between them.
The core idea
Companies are behavioral systems.
Leadership defines the behavior. Everything else follows. When you understand this, you stop treating symptoms and start redesigning the system itself.
The scale of the problem
113 billion euros are lost annually in Germany due to disengagement.
Low engagement directly impacts productivity and performance.
Only 27% of managers worldwide are engaged themselves.
Disengaged leaders cannot create engaged teams.
80% of employees who receive meaningful feedback are fully engaged.
Performance is closely tied to leadership behavior.
The four layers
Four connected layers. One behavioral system.
Leadership
Defines decisions, priorities and behavior. Leadership is the origin point of every organizational system. The way leaders think, decide, and communicate sets the behavioral blueprint for the entire company.
Hiring
Determines which behavior enters the system. Every hire is a behavioral decision. When hiring is aligned with leadership behavior, you attract people who reinforce the right patterns.
Retention
Shows which behavior stays or leaves. Retention is a mirror. It reflects whether your behavioral system is consistent. People stay when the system makes sense. They leave when it doesn't.
Performance
The result of the system. Performance is not an isolated metric. It is the direct output of leadership behavior, hiring quality, and retention patterns working together.

Each layer feeds the next.
Leadership behavior flows through hiring, shapes retention, and determines performance. Change the leadership layer and you change the entire system.
“Through the collaboration and the methods applied, our performance became significantly more stable. We react less to symptoms now and operate with a system that consistently produces better results.”
