The number one reason cited in exit interviews for an employee quitting is âmy manager.â Most managers and executives not only arenât aware of this obvious problem, but probably wouldnât know what to do about it if they did. Todayâs employees do not respond to the old hands-on, militaristic management styles. They are highly independent, individual professionals with their own fully developed ideas. Leaders and managers who try to micro-manage them will inevitably confront wide-spread disgruntlement, absenteeism, and turnover...and increase their own and their employeesâ stress levels. In The Hands-Off Manager, Chandler and Black offer a new vision for all managers. With stories, examples, and vibrant activities for the reader to practice, this book shows any managerânew or seasonedâhow to coach and mentor employees rather than hover over their shoulders and goad them into action. In this system, each employeeâs strengths are honored and honed in a climate of partnership and mutual goal-setting.
