Good Employees Require Good Managers

When an employee quits, sometimes does not leave the company - to give to your manager. I validated this in a survey which showed in 46% of cases the main reason people quit their employers was due to first-line supervisor, a painful statistic when you consider how difficult and costly it is to find and train good people. To make matters worse, companies are stupid for not doing anything about it.

In my opinion it is an honor and an important responsibility to become a manager. When I use the word "manager", does not necessarily mean a working title, but speaking of the "role" of managing people.

The job of a director is not easy. The requirements are difficult. Many bosses are doing the work of two or more persons. Employees expect more, and some are obvious difficulties in working with.

Many companies do a poor job selecting and training managers. Needless to say, those who do a good job in selecting and developing their managers enjoy greater productivity and lower employee turnover. However, most of the time the employer is at fault for not giving them the tools, training and support to succeed.
