Why managers fail?

Why managers fail? Managers are those who are able to maintain a productive working

environment, build positive working relationship and engage in problem solving matters.Successful managers are those who are effective and efficient which is the attainment of

objectives and goals that an organization sets for itself. Managers fail because of inability to

lead, plan and delegate, communicate, listen, and lacking intelligence.

Why managers fail is due to failure to lead and direct as employees do not appear to align

their personal goals with organizational goals, a situation that would lead to failure. The

organization performance suffers and loss of skills when employees leave for better opportunities

in other firms or just do not participate using all their skills. Another failure to lead occurs when

individuals stop volunteeringprobably due to loss of trust, the leaders effectiveness is

demolished which makes visions difficult to share as the leader is unable to achieve the ultimateleadership goal.

Why managers fail is due to lack of planning and delegation as they are a part of

managerial skills. Effective delegation involves understanding and getting work done through

employees, and dedication of resources towards fulfilment of the objective of the organization.

Why managers fail is due to communication failure. Lack of communication involves a

number of bad practices such as failing to share information, not listening to input from one

being managed and not providing feedback. Leading a group of employees needs understanding

of their strengths and weaknesses and something like that comes through interaction. Listening

skills is also a part of communication. Whatever knowledge a manager possesses, the expertise

needs to be shared.

Why managers fail is due to lack of intelligence and experience as several employees

have stated that their managers have no focus and displays poor thinking. Judgement as

previously stated was mentioned in a recent article describing their boss as not strategically

thinking. A manager that lacks expertise, insight and certain skills, for example, problem solving

ability. A flaw like this may be a matter of perception, because the managers may have the

expertise but unable to use it convince others causing leadership failure. Lacking the ability to

make decisions is another trait.

The reasons provided why managers fail are significant issues that managers struggle

with continuously. Management can also recognize any further development problems that

needs to be addressed so they can break free of them and ultimately become successful.
