You know that the success of your managers depends entirely on how well they connect to their direct reports, get them motivated, and navigate through all the forces at play in today’s world.

Who is the Linchpin Employee?
Who are the key players in your company? Whose work does everyone count on for quality production and for moving forward as a group?
For the immediate day to day, the front-line workers clearly are key—they keep the wheels turning. They operate the machinery or directly interact with customers.
The senior leaders carry the burden of planning the future. They are the bigger picture folks whose strategy draws the broad outlines of the intended future.
The department managers bridge the gap and translate information in both directions. They are expected to hold the whole system together and make the business work now and in the future. These managers face demands from above and from below and are expected to keep track of the differing needs and abilities of their various direct reports. They carry the torch of the company’s purpose and values.
Managers are the linchpins who keep it together.
And yet 82% of the time businesses fail to select the most capable people for manager roles.
And the employee engagement of the workers is affected by 70% of what managers do.
No wonder engagement is so poor and new managers typically fail in their first 2 years.
And today, in a world where people remain super conscious of potential infections, where some businesses have closed their doors and others can’t find willing workers everything has changed.
Employees are more volatile, worried, and disconnected. Many come to work with major life challenges: addictions, serious family breakdowns, histories of legal issues and court involvement among them. The gig economy, remote workers, staffing challenges, and supply chain problems make everything harder.
And your managers are expected to mold these folks all into a strong team.
Too many managers got into their positions with no clear guidance, no useful preparation, and no stated assignment other than to “keep the department working.”
A few learn and make the transition from individual contributor to a manager but most never do and, when allowed to stay anyway, are a continuing and largely unacknowledged drag on the company.
