This is an encore podcast presentation previously aired on September 8th, 2023. Have you ever had the privilege of working with a truly great manager? If so, you probably remember how rewarding that experience was. And it’s no coincidence—research shows just how profoundly managers shape our work lives.
Consider these findings:
-
Gallup reveals that managers are the single biggest influence on employee engagement and performance, accounting for 70% of the variance in team engagement.
-
A Stanford study shows productivity can increase by up to 50% when employees transition from an average manager to an exceptional one. Better bosses also lead to higher retention rates.
Yet, exceptional managers remain all too rare. But that’s something we can change. It starts with understanding what makes a manager someone people are eager to follow.
In today’s episode of #WorkTrends, we’re diving into this topic with a management development expert to uncover the secrets to becoming the kind of leader every team deserves.
