Listen "11 Reasons Managers Fail"
Episode Synopsis
This episode is for anyone who wants to avoid common pitfalls of ineffective
managers!
Borrowing from the work of Mike Woodcock and Dave Francis, Andy lays out the researchers’ 11 most common reasons managers fail in the workplace. The bad news? These 11 contributors to failure are just as relevant today as they were when Woodcock and Francis wrote about them waaaaaaaaaay way way back in the 1980s.
The good news? Every one of them is due to a skill gap that organizations and managers can close through training! Along the way, Andy also offers his latest pet peeve with LinkedIn content,
ponders whether he’s using the word “umbrage” correctly, and notices that he says “like I said” way too often.Give it a listen and you’ll walk away better prepared to make sure YOU don’t
fall victim to the 11 reasons so many managers fail to create better workdays.
