Accidental Managers: Are You Setting Them Up for Success?
At our March 2025, breakfast event, 30% of the delegates cited management confidence and capability as the top issue affecting their business.
Many professionals step into management roles not by design, but by promotion—often because they excelled in their previous roles. But here’s the catch: great performance doesn’t automatically translate into great leadership.
Without the right support, "accidental managers" can struggle with people management, decision-making, and team motivation—leading to frustrated employees and missed business goals.
So, what’s the solution? Invest in their development.
Here are four reasons why:
1. Stronger Leadership: Communication, resolving conflict, having difficult conversations and team motivation aren’t innate skills—they need to be learned.
2. Better Decision-Making: Management training helps leaders think strategically and align with business goals.
3. Higher Engagement & Retention: Teams led by trained managers are more motivated, productive, and less likely to leave. This is especially important in the Humber region where a talent shortage means keeping key people is crucial to business success.
4. Adaptability: The business world and technology moves fast—managers who keep learning can confidently navigate change.
💡 How to Support Accidental Managers:
🔹 Set up mentorship programs—learning from experience is invaluable.
🔹 Offer formal training—workshops, courses, or bepoke 121 coaching
🔹 Provide ongoing feedback—help them grow with constructive insights
🔹 Build a culture of continuous learning—where development is a business priority, not an afterthought.
👉 At Humber HR People, we believe a cruical part of our role is to support managers. If your business has managers who need support, we can help. Let’s chat about how to set them (and your organisation) up for success.
