Shifting from Star performer to Star Manager

People are generally promoted to management positions because of their past performance and technical prowess. Many don't possess the people skills to manage others. This is largely responsible for the disengagement of employees and escalating levels of turnover. According to, DDI, a global leadership consulting firm, 57% of employees quit because of bad managers. U.S. voluntary turnover has increased by 88% since 2010 and is expected to hit 35% by 2023, according to the “2019 Work Institute Retention Report”. That being said, most managers can be trained. In order to increase engagement and significantly reduce turnover, we need more leaders to support such initiatives.
