Leadership & management · the problem

Four in five of your managers were never trained to manage

Most managers were promoted for being good at the job they used to do, then left to invent the management job alone. Their teams absorb the cost — in confusion, conflict avoided until it explodes, and good people quietly leaving.

What it costs to leave unsolved

82% of UK managers entered management with no formal management or leadership training, and roughly one in three workers has left a job because of a poor manager. Untrained management is not a soft problem: it is paid for in turnover, grievances and lost output, team by team.
