"Twenty years ago, getting promoted to manager was a major milestone. Today it's a punishment. That's according to recent research from LinkedIn. In a survey of more than 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."
"The leadership training gap The problem is the skills that get people promoted aren't the ones that help them excel at the next level. Management experts Ram Charan, Stephen Drotter, and James Noel explore this concept in their book The Leadership Pipeline. They describe five 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."
A growing number of employees avoid management roles because being promoted often comes with inadequate preparation and responsibility rather than reward. Large surveys show many would leave jobs over bad managers, yet few want to become people managers. Most new managers receive minimal or no formal training, leaving them unprepared for the different skills required at each leadership level. Transitioning between leadership roles requires new learning, behavior changes, and time-use adjustments. Effective leadership development must teach new behaviors, stop prior hands-on habits, and cultivate emotional intelligence to prepare the next generation of leaders.
