tap the net result of their employees

English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Hello everyone,

Equally, just as vision is inseparable from our spiritual intelligence, our capacity to handle ambiguity, uncertainty, and complexity is bound up with a combination of emotional and spiritual intelligence. Our striving, our drive toward perfection, our dedication, and our need to serve are all bound up with our spiritual intelligence. And these are the human qualities for which organizations must make room—indeed must nurture—if they want to unleash the full potential of human creativity and productivity.

Ironically, it is these very qualities of emotional and spiritual intelligence that many corporate transformation programs strive to develop. At least they try to ***tap the net result of their employees*** having such qualities. Most corporate leaders would like to have a workforce, or at least a managerial team, that can think on its feet, be creative, thrive on complexity, take responsibility, and give its all to the firm. This is why they spend millions on “change agents,” consultants who specialize in managing transformation. But most change agents are themselves mechanistic and haven’t a clue what deep transformation means, never mind what it requires.

What does "tap the net result of their employees..." mean?

Thank you.

You are breaking the sentence up wrongly. The result they are tapping is not the employees themselves, but that ofthe fact that they possess these qualities.
