From CareerJournal’s article Managers Rate Themselves High, But Employees Are Tough Critics<\/a>:<\/p>\n

While 92%<\/strong> of managers say they are doing an “excellent” or “good” job managing employees, only 67% of workers agree<\/em>. An additional 23% say their boss is doing a “fair” job, and 10% find their manager is doing a “poor” job, according to a survey of 1,854 U.S. workers by Rasmussen Reports LLC <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Ouch, that’s going to leave a mark. I did so well at statistics in college that I got to take it twice. However, I believe a 25% spread is what statisticians term “statistically significant.”<\/p>\n
A solution later in the article:<\/p>\n
Let workers play a part in manager evaluations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Interesting idea and certainly one that would be beneficial to improving communication between managers and direct reports. However…<\/p>\n
But just 26%<\/strong> of workers surveyed said their company lets them evaluate higher-ups. Still, maybe workers do understand just how tough their bosses have it: Of the 41% who said they would likely be offered their manager’s job if he or she left the company, just 54%<\/strong> want that job.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I was fortunate enough to have a chance to be a Sales Manager at a young age (27) and I still remember to this day what my father told me – “You’ve never seen problems until you have had to manage people.” I chuckled about the statement and remained quite confident I knew what I was doing.<\/p>\n
I lasted 2 years in the role before being fired. Let me now invoke the battle cry of the terminated – “I learned a lot.”<\/p>\n
An important statistic at the end of the article:<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, 26% of managers<\/strong> said they don’t get enough training to handle their responsibilities, the survey found. <\/p>\n
“Managers are saying, ‘I need help to do my job and to manage people more effectively<\/em>,'” Mr. Morgan said. “I see this happen all the time. You promote someone who’s one of your best employees, maybe your best salesperson.<\/p>\n
“Well, what does the organization do to support that person in that transition? It’s a whole different set of responsibilities.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
