Managers falling short, survey says
Managers lack empathy with staff, have poor leadership skills and are often to blame for workers leaving, a report says.
A survey of more than 1,200 employees in several countries, including the UK, found they would be up to 60 per cent more productive if they had the “best ever” boss.
Most of those surveyed by management consultants DDI said their self-esteem had been damaged by a boss, while two out of five said they had quit a job because of their manager.
