Manager Success Academy

Untrained Managers Are Ruining Your Business

Most managers fail within their first two years of being promoted into a management role, but it's usually not their fault.

Here's what typically happens:

Employees are promoted because they are good at their jobs as individual contributors.
They are given a team to manage, but they don't receive any training on how to be successful in this new role.
The organization has essentially set them up for failure.

The reality is that most managers want to be successful, but they don’t know how.

When managers fail, organizations lose due to:

lower morale and engagement
poor performance
misunderstood expectations
ineffective work teams
nonexistent development and advancement opportunities
many other potential workplace problems

Gallup data shows that only one in every ten managers has the ability to manage on their own without any training. Those other nine managers? Some of them likely work for you. #truthbomb

Don't let this common problem plague your business. Manager Success Academy provides all the know-how managers need to be successful in their roles as people managers.

Untrained managers not only play a huge role in turnover at an organization, they also hold people back from achieving their full potential. If you want your teams to perform at their highest levels, you need to start with your managers.
