00:00:00
In US companies anyway, I think they are
00:00:02
just underinvesting not just in
00:00:04
employees and training and development,
00:00:07
but they're underinvesting in
00:00:08
management. And we're seeing this right
00:00:11
now as almost as we speak, companies
00:00:13
trying to take layers of management out.
00:00:16
Sounds like a reasonable thing except
00:00:18
what you're doing then is you're really
00:00:20
expanding the spans of control. So one
00:00:23
supervisor has 20 people, right? and you
00:00:26
just can't keep track of what's going on
00:00:28
with those people even in their work.
00:00:29
how are they doing in their jobs and
00:00:31
we're trying to make the supervisors
00:00:33
individual contributors as well as
00:00:35
supervising all these people right so I
00:00:37
think we are systematically particularly
00:00:39
in public companies underinvesting
00:00:42
training is largely disappearing a third
00:00:44
of US managers say they never had any
00:00:46
training in management before becoming a
00:00:48
manager so I think that's the big thing
00:00:51
which we're seeing systematically in the
00:00:53
Ask.
