Businesses 'held back by their managers'


British businesses are being held back by managers who fail to get the best out of their staff, according to worrying research carried out by the Work Foundation.

Almost one in four employees feel uninspired by their bosses and just over a quarter believe senior managers fail to provide them with a clear vision.

The situation has deteriorated since a similar study carried out by the foundation in February.

Then, two-thirds of employees said that their managers had a clear vision for the organisation whereas now fewer that three in five feel this way.

A total of 60 per cent of those polled who were critical of their employer identified improving the quality of management as a top priority for their organisation, against just 18 per cent of those who spoke highly of their employer.
