50% Of Workers Leave Due To Their Boss
You’ve probably heard of the phrase, “An employee doesn’t leave their job, they leave their manager.” Well, research commissioned by the Chartered Management Institute has now confirmed that belief.
The CMI commissioned a survey by OnePoll, and the results are in. Out of 3,000 individuals surveyed, 47% have previously left a job because of bad management.
The survey also concluded that 50% of employees thought they could do a better job than their manager, and 49% would willingly take a pay cut in order to work with a better manager.

I find these findings a disturbing reflection of how poorly managers are currently serving their subordinates. What do you make of these results?

I’m agree with that almost half of UK employees have been forced to leave a job because of poor management.Personality clashes with bosses and disagreements over company objectives were among the most common reasons for staff wanting to leave, a report said, while low levels of employee engagement also meant many workers felt little loyalty to their boss.A lack of training amongst managers was one of the biggest problems highlighted by the survey. More than two-thirds of managers questioned had no management training at all, while two in five admitted they did not want the responsibility of managing people.
The findings are very interesting. I work for a company (Questar, http://www.questarweb.com) that has done research in this area and we have also found the boss to be an important factor in why people leave but there are often many reasons why someone leaves. In fact we have found senior leadership (not there immediate manager) to be the largest reason why someone leaves the company. We just posted a blog post on this issue (www.questarblog.com), check it out when you have a chance and let us know your thoughts.
It is important for bosses to have some kind of personal relationship with their employees. It will lessen the stress and tension inside a workplace and thus bring in more production to their work.
There’s no doubt that your manager can dramatically change your experience. I work in an industry where my manager changes fairly frequently at my workplace. This is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because it means that I don’t have to keep a poor manager; a curse because it means I often can’t stay with the talented managers for a long time.
