“Wow! The plan for our managers is awesome. This is better than anything we had hoped for. Truly groundbreaking. I love it. Thank you!”

Today’s managers account for over one-third of the workforce and are facing challenges without precedent.

Managers are being asked to do more with less as their span of control increases. People managers report having to spend over half of their time on non-managerial tasks and as little as 10% of their time on what matters most — managing and coaching their front-line employees.

And even though Deloitte reported that companies invest the highest percent of their training dollars (35%) in management and leadership development, research by McKinsey found that:

75% of executives are unsatisfied with the performance of their front-line managers.
81% of managers reported not being satisfied with their own performance.

This is bad news. Low performing managers make low performing companies.

The good news is that the flip side is also true: companies with higher performing managers realize an increase in profitability, productivity, employee engagement, customer satisfaction, and retention.

Based upon over 500,000 annual employee engagement surveys, we know that managers have a direct impact on four key metrics:

Employee performance
Employee engagement
Employee retention
Employee relations

While focused management development can certainly play a critical role in improving performance, management skills alone will not fully address the growth, performance, and speed challenges faced by today’s managers.

Managers must also address strategies, cultures, processes, and structures to drive lasting change.

Our Organizational Alignment Research found that managers who align their culture and talent with their strategy grow revenues 58% faster, are 72% more profitable, have 9-to-1 greater leadership effectiveness, and boost employee engagement levels 16.8-to-1.

Our study found that the highest performing managers consistently:

Point the team in the right direction
Create an environment for people to perform at their peak
Attract, develop, engage, and retain top talent

Our research-backed approach to management development helps managers thrive in the following areas:
