WHY INVEST IN MANAGER TRAINING? The average organization is losing an amount equal to 7% of its annual sales because of poor leadership. That’s more than $1 million dollars per year for an organization with $15 million or more in annual sales. Studies have shown that up to 40% of new management hires fail within their first 18 months. This failure is often due to a lack of training and support during the transition to a more challenging management role. As many as 90% of all managers fail to carry out their primary responsibilities: creating and implementing strategy and fueling innovation. Why? They lack focus and energy, avoid complex challenges in favor of busywork, and don’t delegate effectively.
