LMA (Leadership Management Australia) just released results of their LEAD survey of over 3000 employees across Australia. Guess what they said was the number one Top Characteristic of a good manager?
Trustworthiness and Openness jumps dramatically to top characteristic of a good manager
In what is seen as a dramatic change in attitudes from a year ago, employees think trustworthiness and openness is now the most important characteristic of a good manager.
Compared to this time last year, trustworthiness and openness has jumped from seventh to number one on the Top Ten Characteristics of a Good Manager list generated by Leadership Management Australasia (LMA).
The list has been drawn from the latest L.E.A.D. (Leadership, Employment and Direction) Survey of more than 3,000 employees across Australia and New Zealand, (14 per cent of the respondents were from New Zealand yielding the same results).
LMA's Managing Director, Grant Sexton said what employees expect of their managers has changed dramatically over the past year. A new number one characteristic and some major changes in the Top Ten present managers with new challenges in fulfilling the needs and expectations of their employees.
