We all know that employees and bosses have two different perspectives when it comes to work. Bosses want productivity while employees want higher pay. Despite these natural differences in the workplace many employers and employees have good relationships. These relationships happen because bosses are willing to treat their employees fair and give them the tools they need to succeed.
Leadership IQ who is a strong provider of leadership skills and training conducted an interesting study of approximately 7,200 executives, managers and employees. Their findings may actually shock some business executives on how low they actually rank with their employees.
Trust of Management is an Issue:
Trust of Executives: 20% of the people surveyed trusted their executive management, 36% only mildly trusted them and another 44% didn’t trust them at all. That means that nearly half of all employees did not trust the motives of their executives, their skills and their ability to treat people fairly. The country lacks great leaders and this phenomenon plays out in our corporate world.
Trust of Manager: 34% of people strongly trust their boss, 35% mildly trust their boss and 31% of people don’t trust their boss. Middle managers fare better then their executive management when it comes to employee trust. Thus these employees are more likely to work with and work harder for their bosses.
One of the major reasons why employees trust their direct boss more than they trust the executive management is because they have the ability to work with them on a regular basis and see their human side. Thus proximity helps people to trust other people’s motives. Yet even with this close proximity many managers and executives have not earned the people’s trust.
When employees don’t trust their bosses they aren’t loyal. 32% of all employees say that they will make a decision to keep working for the organization or leave the organization based on whether or not they trust their bosses. Thus resentment can either lead to high turnover or it can lead to accomplishing great things.
