Running Riot
Nearly one in four of the UK managers are rated as bad or dreadful by their UK employees and only 4% of staff would rate their bosses 10 out of ten.
A survey of almost 1,100Â UK staff by campaigning group The Good Boss Company, reveals that 58% of respondants have looked for another job because of their bad manager.
Poor leadership and management skills are alienating rather than motivating staff. This is an issue that  employers must address so that bosses aid rather than undermine progress.
This is highlighted blatently in the Social Work Department of Edinburgh City Council, where it would seem,if you want or are on the first rung of the management ladder,the main qualification is right place at the right time and nothing to do with real qualities of leadership, so diseases like bullying are allowed to go un-noticed and are at best covered up to protect those higher up the brown nosing ladder.
Real leadership requires humanity and consideration for others, with the ability to offer a helping hand or supportive voice when necessary.
Pilton Sucks.com supports a radical shake up in managerial traning and root out the rubbish who would drag down a particular service and anyone else round them.
Dr. Fritton, John Travers The Muirhouse Two, are all one way or another victims of bad and distructive management and yet are treated as though it is them who are the problem for coming forward.
We must throw away that watch your back mentality and rid the workplace of those who would hid their own limitations by seeking to hurt others,and then claim innocence of any wrong doing.
One thing is abundantly clear,as long as inadequate managers are allowed to continue and covered up for,the more services will suffer,not immediatly of course, but in time failures and faults,lies and deceit,will show through,and if nobody has the courage to tackle this then what you will have left is management dregs,hiding behind who ever they can with the rule book in their hand.
These individuals are poison and can only do harm if allowed continually to get away with mal practice and deception.
It is up to those who have the interests of others to expose these upstarts, and try to rebuild trust amongst colleagues,this will not happen if you sit on your hands and do nothing, action is required,we know it,you know it.
Good people are being lost because bad managers are getting away with harrassment,bullying, cheating and deceiving,for those who feel or have felt the brunt or even know about it,this is your time to stand up and be counted,you can bring a breath of fresh air,where stale air exists.
Take this opportunity to do the right thing,do not hide or turn away this can only prolong bad management, rip away the gloss finish from bad managers and lo and behold, the real person is revealed,nasty,small minded low lifes,determined to ruin others to cover up their own faults. Â
