STUDIES
-Mid-level managers said more than two out of five of their company’s managers, on average, were unprepared for management when they assumed their role, and that less than half of managers are highly effective.
-87% of middle managers wish they had received more management training when they first became a manager.
After training- 80% of managers who do change their behavior after training maintain those changes for just 6 months or less before going back to their old ways.
-98% of middle managers believe key objectives of their company - such as
employee retention, office morale, client satisfaction, and revenue - would improve if managers were trained to be effective more quickly.
Possible Reasons: UK managers are significantly less well qualified with substantial skills gaps.
