Bouncing back: New report on how business leaders overcame adversity

30/6/2016

0 Comments

 
The Chartered Management Institute has just released a report that gives insight into how managers cope with adversity. 
The findings of the report, and the recommendations that it makes, are in line with what we experience.
Understanding and managing risk (through tools such as Bowtie risk assessment) and building a culture where failures are seen as an opportunity to learn (through effective investigation) are at the core of what we do. 

The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) is the only chartered professional body for management and leadership, dedicated to improving managers’ skills and growing the number of qualified managers. 

Follow the CMI on Twitter at @cmi_managers: if you're based in the South West of England you can follow the regional branch at @CMISouthWest.
The CMI's recommendations for improving managerial resilience include:
  1. Make it OK to fail. Failure as a step on the way to success should be the new normal. 
  2. Develop risk tolerance – Build up risk tolerance through creating a culture geared towards accountability. 
  3. Encourage managers to accept, re-evaluate and face forward – Help managers to gain a sense of perspective by stepping outside the situation. 
  4. Foster a balanced mind-set and humility – Ensure a dose of realism and measured reactions by regularly reviewing best and worst case outcomes. 
  5. Offer mentors – Recognise the power of learning from mistakes.
  6. Build support networks – Strong personal networks can soften the blow of a crisis.

Employers still rewarding poorly-performing bosses with bonuses

10/5/2016

0 Comments

 
More than one in five managers who fell short of performance expectations in the last year still received bonus pay-outs, according to new data published today [10 May] by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and XpertHR.

Data from the 2016 National Management Salary Survey reveal that many managers and professional staff still reap the benefits of bonus pay outs despite falling short of expectations. Of those deemed to be underperforming or developing, 23% still received a bonus payment on top of their basic salary. The average bonus payments to this group were worth £4,270, or 12% of their basic pay, taking their total packages to £40,067. 
The data also suggest that so-called ‘rewards for failure’ could be even more common for more senior leaders. Among senior managers who fell short of performance expectations, as many as 43% took home bonuses.
