Ecsell Institute found a silver lining in the data: managers have a great deal of ability to retain their teams. Only 15% of those who report to a high-performing manager are at risk of leaving, versus 66% of those who report to a low-performing manager. Managers of respondents who were at a low risk of quitting shared characteristics of being:
“If our data is any indication, the saying ‘people don’t quit their jobs, they quit their bosses’ is entirely true.”
- Supportive of opportunities for growth and development.
- Consistent and dependable in their leadership.
- Open and engaged with team members.
