UK: Survey shows impact bad management has on staff

Date: 15 Nov 2009

Almost half of workers polled in the UK said that they had left a job because of bad management and that, given the option, they would rather take a pay cut than be managed by someone with poor skills.

The survey, conducted for the Chartered Institute of Management, was part of the launch platform for a programme to improve management skills.

Part of the reason seems to be the number of people that end up with management responsibility without having sought it, and without being properly trained or prepared for it. 68 percent of respondents said that had entered a management role by chance rather than by intent, with 40 percent suggesting they had not wanted the responsibility at all.

The Chartered Institute of Management has launched a Manifesto for a Better Managed Britain to address what it believes is a major problem, affecting the well–being of workers at all levels in businesses across the country.
