Bad Managers Are Expensive—And They’re Everywhere

We’ve all worked under a bad manager—someone who micromanages fails to communicate or doesn’t support their team. But did you know that poor leadership is one of the top reasons employees quit?

In 2025, retaining great talent isn’t just about perks or paychecks—it’s about equipping managers with the right leadership skills. And that’s where coaching makes all the difference.



How Bad Managers Impact Retention and Engagement

💸 Turnover Costs: Studies show that 50% of employees leave jobs due to bad management—and replacing a single employee can cost up to twice their salary.

📉 Low Productivity: A disengaged team means lower efficiency, missed deadlines, and poor collaboration.

🤕 Employee Burnout: Leaders who don’t manage effectively create stress-heavy environments where employees burn out and disengage.

🚩 Toxic Workplace Cultures: Without strong leadership, companies face high conflict, poor morale, and increased absenteeism.

The bottom line? If your managers aren’t growing, neither is your company.
