Nobody Wants to Be the Boss Anymore. Here's Why, in Just 7 Words
"That's according to recent research from LinkedIn. In a survey of over 10,000 LinkedIn users, nearly 7 in 10 said they would leave their job if they had a bad manager. But only 30% said they want to become a people manager within the next few years. So, why the change? Why doesn't anyone want to be the boss anymore? We could sum up the answer in seven words: Nobody showed them how to lead effectively."
"Management experts Ram Charan, Stephen Drotter, and James Noel explore this concept in their book, The Leadership Pipeline. They describe six different leadership roles: Leading self Leading others Leading leaders Functional leaders Business leaders The passage from one role to another requires new learning and new behavior, assert the authors. What's more, they say, the leader who transitions from one role to the next has to acquire a new way of leading and leave the old ways behind."
A large LinkedIn survey found nearly 7 in 10 workers would leave a job because of a bad manager, while only 30% want to become people managers soon. West Monroe's survey of 500 managers found 66% received eight hours or less of manager training, and 43% of managers with under a year of experience had no training. The skills that earn promotions differ from those needed to lead others effectively. The Leadership Pipeline framework outlines distinct leadership roles and emphasizes that moving between roles requires new learning, behavior change, and a shift in how leaders use their time.
