What do you think great managers do? We asked this question to managers, employees and CEOs at Unleash World in Paris last week - and the responses were eye-opening. A striking 60% of the answers were completely unique, highlighting that everyone has their own philosophy on what makes a good manager. But there were some key characteristics mentioned multiple times: 🥇 Shows empathy 🥈 Trusts their team 🥉 Listens well It’s interesting that all of these qualities are about valuing the employee and empowering them, rather than taking charge or ‘doing’. In fact, they create a core component of a coaching style of leadership, which research shows is THE best way to improve overall team performance and wellbeing. So isn’t it a shame that 80% of managers haven’t ever had any formal training to help them develop these qualities? It really is no surprise that employee engagement is at an all-time low when so many managers are left to figure things out on their own. Let’s change that - by giving managers the tools and frameworks they need to lead effectively. What do YOU think great managers do? Let us know in the comments.

We're excited to be at Unleash World in Paris tomorrow! 🎉 Come visit us at booth ST75 and enter our competition for a chance to win one of several event-exclusive 90-minute masterclass sessions. Don't miss out – see you there! 👋🥖🗼
