Managers Are Miserable.
Managers are told they’re important. But they’re rarely valued.
Too often, they’re stressed, overwhelmed, and left to fend for themselves—without training, support, or recognition.
They’re expected to do the impossible. Sometimes, even the unethical.
If things go wrong? Managers get blamed.
Managers Matter.
Despite decades of management downsizing, reorganizing, flattening (and some ridicule!), strong managers remain the cornerstone of success.
Great Managers:
PLUS, When Things Are Intense, Managers Carry the Weight.
At work there’s AI. Automation. Inequalities. Some jobs attract too many applicants; other jobs lay vacant for months. Many employees and managers fear AI may replace them.
Homelives are overflowing. Marriage. Divorce. Children. Illness. Caregiving. Loss. Grief. Transitions. Some tragic. Some beautiful. All important.
In communities, loneliness is an epidemic. Attention spans are gone. The World Health Organization warns that depression is the #1 workplace disability. Fractures abound.
Collectively we’re roiling through economic and political upheaval. Climate collapse. Epidemics. Disasters. Violence.
It’s A LOT. And no one works in a bubble. It’s absurd to think people leave everything behind at the office door.
All that intensity, change, and uncertainty?
Managers bear its brunt and deliver far beyond KPIs. They offer counsel. Help staff find balance. Nurture culture. Hold space. Sometimes, heal.
Bright Spots Abound. Great Managers Nurture Them.
The world’s needs are complex, urgent, and interconnected. More than ever, we need to work, learn, grow, and achieve together in new ways and toward lasting solutions.
In other words, want the best antidote to unstable change and collapse? Reclaim what’s most important (i.e. global thriving). Unleash boundless imagination to get there. And do it together.
Great managers make that happen.
Want to deliver those ambitions? Great managers are essential.
