Let’s face it – managers are grappling with unprecedented challenges. The latest research from the Gartner Group paints a stark picture: 54% of managers are wrestling with work-induced stress and fatigue. Their responsibilities, from navigating hybrid teams to prioritising employee well-being, have reached a tipping point.
And it’s not going unnoticed. Only half of employees express confidence in their manager’s ability to steer their teams toward success in the next two years.
These figures come in despite HR professionals making leader and management development a top priority in 2023 and 2024. So, is it time for us to rethink the very essence of managerial roles in today's workplaces?
