Bad news for bad news managers

The good folks at Gallup have crunched the numbers and come up with these not-so-surprising yet sobering stats about the influence managers have an employee engagement:

  • If your manager largely ignores you, your chances of being actively disengaged is 40%.
  • If your manager dwells on your weaknesses, your chances of being actively disengaged is 22%
  • If your manager focuses on your strengths, your chances of being actively disengaged is just 1%
