Bosses Overestimate Their Managing Skills
(Wall Street Journal) — Bosses who think they’re the next Jack Welch might want to reassess their talent level. A new survey of 1,100 front-line managers suggests many are over-estimating their skills, with surprisingly little self-doubt. Seventy-two percent said they never questioned their ability to lead others in their first year as a manager. Managers were also unlikely to rate themselves as weak in a number of leadership attributes, such as planning, communication and adaptability, according to the study by consulting firm Development Dimensions International Inc.
