This quarter’s Employee Outlook finds that three quarters of employers report a lack of leadership and management skills and too many managers have an inflated opinion of their ability to manage people.

Eight out of ten managers say they think their staff are satisfied or very satisfied with them as a manager whereas just 58% of employees report this is the case. This ‘reality gap’ matters as the survey finds a very clear link between employees who say they are satisfied or very satisfied with their manager and those that are engaged.
