Great Managers know how to engage their people. Steve Sapato on YouTube has created several informative and help oriented videos to help you become a better manager. https://youtu.be/NAblX1Nokwc?si=A2JE5SlK8DO1cSZi

There are hundreds of articles showing how most people don't quit their jobs but they do quit a bad managers.

If this is such a huge problem why isn't it being fixed? Why isn't it being addressed?

It's like American politics, they know where the problems are but the people in power are typically the ones causing the problem and therefore it won't get fixed.

If you are having high turnover or if you are having issues with reliability, attendance, conflict among employees then you are probably having manager issues.

How do you fix a bad manager? Train them. If they won't be trained? Replace them.

One bad manager can cost your company thousands maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why are you allowing bad managers and bad attitudes to impact your business?

It is time to train your people, all of them, on communication, management skills, and confrontation. Note that confrontation is vastly different from conflict.

Many companies train in conflict resolution but few on confrontational skills. One is negative and one is positive.

Maybe it's time you taught your people how to be better.
