They\u2019ve put in the time, successfully completed complex projects, collaborate well with others on the team, and have shown that they are willing to go the extra mile to help the company succeed. The logical next step is a promotion to a management position.<\/p>\n<p>What happens when this promotion occurs? What tools and training are provided to ensure that they &#8211; and their new team &#8211; are being set up for success during this transition? Their ability to successfully develop and implement a company-wide quality assurance process doesn\u2019t necessarily translate to having the skills to effectively motivate and engage the operations department to peak productivity. It doesn\u2019t mean that they will be able to handle stressful or confrontational situations with the professionalism and competence needed to retain employees and customers. <strong>The skill sets that this star employee needs are fundamentally different now that they\u2019ve been promoted to management.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This distinction is important not just to your new manager, but to you and your organization as a whole. The effect of a poor manager is deep and manifests itself in many areas of your business. A study conducted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2012\/07\/how-damaging-is-a-bad-boss-exa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harvard Business Review<\/a> found that there is a <strong>direct correlation between employee satisfaction and engagement and their leader\u2019s effectiveness rating<\/strong> (defined by 360-degree reviews). The article goes further to tie this to further, third party studies which all found strong correlations between employee behavior and sales revenues.<\/p>\n<p>Leadership development is becoming an absolute necessity for solidifying your organization\u2019s relevance in the future and creating a real strategic advantage in the marketplace. What is your plan to <a href=\"https:\/\/crestcom.com\/request-leadership-workshop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">close your leadership capability gap<\/a>? Will this be a strategic priority this next year?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior executives recognize that there is a leadership skills gap in their organization, but what does that really mean for your\u00a0bottom line?
