Managers 'need leadership motivation and investment'

Date: 11/11/2009

Nearly half of all workers who have left a job have carried out their action because of bad management, according to new research by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).

The survey of 3,000 workers, carried out on the CMI's behalf by OnePoll, also found that 50 per cent believe they could do a better job than their current manager and another 49 per cent said they would take a pay cut to work with a better manager.

It highlights that without more investment in training of managers, there could be issues when approaching team building corporate events or incentives and recognition schemes.

Ruth Spellman, the chief executive of the CMI, explained: "It's not surprising bad management is such an issue in the UK. We invest less in our managers than our global competitors and it shows.

"It's telling that the majority of individuals never set out to manage people, and have not been trained to do so."

The CMI is the only chartered professional body dedicated to management and leadership and asserts its commitment to raising performance of businesses though the championing of management.
