Is your Leadership Development Strategy Sink or Swim?
Sadly, for small to medium size businesses, most new leaders have not received any leadership training.
“In a study, we conducted on over 17,000 leaders we found the average age of supervisors in these firms was 33. In fact, the typical individual in these companies became a supervisor around age 30 and remained in that role for nine years — that is, until age 39.
It follows then, that if they’re not entering leadership training programs until they’re 42, they are getting no leadership training at all as supervisors. And they’re operating within the company untrained, on average, for over a decade.”
The impact:
- 75% of Employees Report their Manager is the Worst Part of Their Job
- The base rate of failed leaders is 75%
- 38% of the difference in Business Performance can be explained by Leadership Effectiveness
- One in two employees have left a job to get away from a manager (Gallup)
- The #2 reason for turnover is the lack of opportunity for growth and development
Just as a bad manager can ruin a good job, a great manager can make a huge difference in culture, productivity, and the bottom line–if only their organization invested in training them to be an effective leader.
