The Connector Manager Performance Advantage

Employees who report to effective manager coaches are 40% more engaged, exhibit 38% more discretionary effort and are 20% more likely to stay at their organizations than those who report to ineffective coaches. The problem is, much of today’s coaching simply isn’t effective, and managers are overwhelmed.

Knowing this, we embarked on a multiyear study of thousands of employees, managers and senior leaders around a simple question: “What are the best managers doing to develop employees in today’s workplace?” 

Our 3Q19 Executive Guidance e-book covers surprising findings from the study, including the correlation between management approaches and performance. 

Always-On managers — who provide continuous feedback — actually degrade employee performance by up to 8%, while Connector managers improve performance by up to 26%.
