Manager - a wolf in sheep's clothing?

The faith of the company is in the hands of managers. Good managerial team is a blessing for every organization but the question is how common are good managers. How people who occupy these positions are recruited? In order to operate a motor vehicle, one must pass a number of tests and after that undergo constant monitoring.

What kind of an assessment does somebody who manages the company or a department of dozens or even hundreds of people, someone a large number of things depend on, go through? Somebody might think there is no need to pay too much attention to this question. Businesses have been operating for years, things are moving forward, and system is functioning. Why fix something which is not broken?

When we take a deeper look and consider research data, we can see to what extent system really functions to. The researches carried out in America showt hat incredible 50% of managers actively ruin the company he or she works for by chasing personal success and promotion. Other researches show that the overall managers’ performance can be split in line with the 25-50-25 principle. A total of 25% is competent at work, 50% manages somehow while the remaining 25% is incompetent. Obviously, managers are the most valuable asset to the organization but they are also a great risk. Bad manager is a hidden danger which is ruining organization inside – a wolf in sheep`s clothing.
