Can your iPhone really help you become a better leader?

We seem to think so. And now we want to help others realize this too.

We’re obsessed with our phones. In fact, Americans now check their cell phones 150 time per day. The average consumer app company presumably views this as 150 new sales opportunities, but at Buddha Mobile Apps, we see it slightly differently. To us, this statistic represents 150 opportunities to engage with leaders and influence their behaviors.

Today’s leaders are busy — and the pace and pressure of running a team is only increasing. Leaders must display strong discipline and focus in order to continually remind themselves to practice world-class leadership behaviors. Fortunately, that’s our sweet spot— Buddha Mobile Apps helps leaders simplify the most complicated organizational performance challenges through the help of mobile devices.

Both in our daily lives and in the context of organizational performance, the beauty of the mobile device is in its ‘reinforcing capabilities’. Our mobile devices already remind us to wake up in the morning, make our 2 o’clock meeting and live healthier lives; mobile devices can serve the same role with regard to leadership behaviors. Given managers’ busy schedules and countless responsibilities, providing simple reinforcing mechanisms via a mobile device that’s already being used so frequently just makes sense.

It is now common organizational practice to measure employee engagement/satisfaction/motivation/loyalty, but the question remains — “are we really giving leaders the tools they need to improve?”

Leaders have the opportunity to directly influence the performance and success of their employees on a daily basis, making the manager-employee relationship critical. Imagine harnessing the time and energy spent daily on social media and re-directing it towards better leadership behaviors…the results could be astronomical.

At Buddha Mobile Apps, we want our mobile solutions to help leaders build and sustain higher-performing teams. We believe we’ve built the simplest and easy-to-use app for leadership development and active team management, and we’d love to know if you agree.

leaderly launched at a price of $2.99 and is available to download on the Apple App Store.
