THE ACCIDENTAL MANAGER PROBLEM
Your best performer became a manager. Nobody taught them how to lead.
When managers are promoted without preparation, the impact shows up in performance, senior leadership time and retention.
82%of managers enter management without formal management or leadership training.Source: Chartered Management Institute
Performance depends on who manages you
Expectations, feedback and accountability vary across teams. Underperformance is addressed too late.
Good people disengage or leave
Weak coaching, unclear direction and avoided conversations leave capable people frustrated and unsupported.
This is not a motivation problem. It is a capability gap. People have been given responsibility for others without being prepared to deliver through them.
