Bad managers drive employees out faster than bad jobs do, tanking retention and productivity. The damage spreads to your company's reputation with current staff, job candidates, vendors, and partners. Coaching problem managers early stops the cascade.
Uh, without addressing someone that might be unconscious to the impact that they're having on those around them. And of course, that's just gonna lead to turnover. There's more people leave because the manager than the company. More people leave for the manager than the job itself. Uh, more people leave because the manager than they do that they're bored or frustrated with their job. Uh, it, it ultimately will often come down to and back to the manager and what the manager is not providing. So you're gonna have a decrease in productivity, you're gonna have an increase in turnover, and then at the same time, all of that is just festering and creating a poor internal image of the company because many employees will start questioning the leadership, the further leadership of a company by why are they allowing this person to continue to lead or so-called lead and manage when they're just destroying the team dynamics and the workplace culture. And so all of a sudden, the, what we'll call the brand or the reputation of the team and the company can start eroding tremendously. Because again, people will leave and they're mouthpieces, especially when there's social media. So you really want to ensure that these individuals are addressed and given the opportunity to make shifts and changes, um, because it's not only going to hurt them or their team, and that part of the business, but it could hurt the business as a whole and the reputation of the company, not only for stakeholders, external stakeholders, but new hires, vendors, partners, so forth and so on.
