Where Do Managers Come Up Short? Ask Employees

Where Do Managers Come Up Short? Ask Employees

A survey of U.S. workers shows that the top 5 communication issues that prevent business leaders from being effective are:

(1)not recognizing employee achievements,

(2) not giving clear directions, 

(3) not having time to meet with employees, 

(4)refusing to talk to subordinates, and

(5) taking credit for others’ ideas .

  The data shows that the vast majority of leaders are not engaging in crucial moments that could help employees see them as trustworthy, despite companies’ vast expenditures on reorganizations and change initiatives.
