Are Leading or just Managing?
- More than two million workers say their bosses are so overworked they don’t really have time to manage their staff properly.
- 75% of people wished they had another job.
- 80% of people never use their greatest gifts at work.
Pretty sad facts.
Guess what? They more than likely apply to your organization too.
And...
If you manage people, you own this!
What’s happening within our workforce to make these statistics a reality?
In the United States employee engagement only averages 30%. That's it.
Why?
It comes down to poor leadership.
We have spent so much energy creating “good managers” that we have become disengaged with what it means to be a good leader.
Managing comes from a need to produce an outcome, which of course, is important. However, when we can move to a place of leading those around us the organizational momentum transforms. More than anything employees want to make a contribution. Once they feel that they are, they stay...and they stay engaged. Which boosts your bottom line.
- Leading is about developing the soft skills that are required to inspire and motivate people.
- Managing is about possessing the technical skills required in order to get a job done.
If you have the management skills without the leadership skills your career will plateau at some point. That is a fact.
The soft skills that good leaders possess are going to be in high demand as the battle for top talent continues to increase. Are you ready?
