Top 4 Reasons Managers Fail Credit to Eric Partaker. Follow him for more visuals on business, leadership, & self-mastery. How do you practice self-awareness and empathy in your management style? Original post below: ----- Managers today are loaded with 51% more responsibility than they can handle. As a result: ➨ 54% feel too stressed ➨ 44% struggle to support direct reports ➨ 20% would rather not be managers given a choice And the end result? A whopping 48% are at risk of failing. So, why is this happening? A Harvard study analyzed over 100 risk factors... Here are the 4 main reasons managers fail: 1. Lack of self-awareness ↳ 82% of managers said they have the required skills. ↳ Yet only 20% recognize their own strengths & development areas. 2. Lack of two-way empathy ↳ 69% of HR leaders rightfully expect managers to show "downward" empathy to employees. ↳ Yet only 9% of organizations have programs to teach employees equally important "upward" empathy. 3. Unproductive relationships with employees ↳ 71% of employees feel their managers have adapted their interaction style to hybrid work. ↳ Yet only 47% feel interactions with their managers produce useful outcomes. 4. Absence of goal alignment ↳ Employees in 2022 experienced 5x more change than in 2016. ↳ Yet managers are 42% more likely to focus on work support, rather than help realign goals, following a change. But, here's the good news... When employers address these four factors, the risk of manager failure drops from 48% to just 5%. Remember, the best managers are the most proactive ones. Avoid these common pitfalls. And give your team the manager they deserve. ----- Grow your professional skills with daily visual wisdom.
