Gallup’s 2024 Engagement Strategies Checklist points out that managers are more likely to be burned out and disengaged than their teams.

They recommend the following to make sure your managers are in a good place going into the new year:

• Begin with listening. Gallup has found that identifying key listening posts for managers makes their needs known and helps establish ways to support them as effective team leaders.

• Improve leadership communication. Only 3 in 10 managers strongly agree their supervisor keeps them informed about what is going on within their organization. By providing straightforward, regular communication about organizational goals and policies, managers can reinforce and communicate priorities more effectively to their teams.

• Train and develop managers. Only 48% of managers strongly agree that they currently have the skills needed to be exceptional at their job. Organizations must teach managers to have meaningful conversations at the right frequency with their teams. In fact, Gallup recommends having a meaningful weekly conversation with each team member.
