The Wrong Manager or the Wrong Management Style?

Research from Gallup found that organizations choose the wrong manager a whopping 82% of the time. 

It’s one of the most important decisions a company can make, yet organizations get it wrong 8 out of 10 times.

It’s easy to assume that those 82% of managers just weren’t cut out to be in a management position. But a four-year study found that more often, the case is that the manager’s style is inappropriate for their particular culture. 

Different teams, projects, tasks, and business models require entirely different management styles. When new managers cannot adapt to the needs of their role, they are most times doomed to failure. 

An inability to adapt usually leads to demotion, and in the most severe cases -- termination. Why damage careers and disrupt flow by gambling that people are the right fit without assessment or development?

In other words, stop advancing people as a reward without first assessing their capabilities and emotional intelligence, growth mindset, etc.
