06 Feb Developing Your Managers’ Soft Skills to Elevate Workplace Engagement

There’s a common misconception in many organizations: Companies that undermine the critical role of managers in creating an engaging workplace pay a high price.

“People don’t leave companies. They leave managers.”

Gallup research shows that managers account for up to 70% of team engagement.

When managers struggle to get along, connect, communicate, and engage their people, turnover rises and too often, top performers walk away. Teams don’t fail because of lack of talent.

They fail because of poor leadership experiences.

That’s not a technical skill gap.

It’s a soft skills gap—communication, emotional intelligence, and so on.

Leadership isn’t about position.

It’s not about technical expertise alone.

Leadership is about how people experience you.
