"People don't quit jobs, they leave bad bosses." (Here’s the hard truth) Have you noticed this? It’s not the workload. It’s not the office. It’s the leadership. Here’s why people really leave: ↳ Lack of career growth ↳ Poor work-life balance ↳ Conflicts with managers or coworkers ↳ Ineffective communication ↳ Limited autonomy ↳ Lack of transparency ↳ No recognition ↳ Inexistent sense of belonging So, what does great management look like? 1️⃣ Set clear expectations → Ambiguity kills productivity. → Clarity fuels trust. 2️⃣ Recognize effort → A simple “thank you” goes a long way. → Appreciation builds loyalty. 3️⃣ Be a coach, not a critic → Guide your team. → Help them grow, instead of pointing out flaws. 4️⃣ Foster autonomy → Trust people to do their job. → Micromanaging only creates frustration. 5️⃣ Listen actively → Your team’s insights are gold. → Make them feel heard. 6️⃣ Lead by example → Want respect? Earn it. → Your actions set the standard. 7️⃣ Invest in development → Growth opportunities show you care. → People stay where they’re valued. Why does this matter? Because teams don’t thrive in toxic environments. They thrive when leadership inspires, uplifts, and empowers. Leaders, take note: → Your team’s success isn’t about your title. → It’s about how you treat them. 💬 Here’s the big question: Do you think your team would stay because of you?  Let’s talk below 👇 ♻️ Share this to help your network.

It can be frustrating to an experienced professional team if a new "Manager" is brought in from another office or country, has no knowledge of the business and/or market, and takes little time to listen and learn..

What a shallow statement. Please reflect on your statement rather than making blanket statements. Just as there are good managers there are bad managers and just as there are good employees there are bad employee. Both negative managers and employees become hindrance to growth, team, and the organization.

It’s partly true and so bland as to be pointless

Couldn’t agree more, but would add ‘micro management’ and ‘creating silos’ ‘lack of training’ ‘creating mistrust’ to the reasons
