The best way to measure a manager’s performance is to look at the performance of their team, says leadership author Bruce Rosengarten.
Leaders and managers are “incredibly accountable” for every member of their team – “70 per cent of how an employee performs is directly related to how well he or she is led and managed”, he says.
Rosengarten, the former vice president of petroleum giant Shell, says leaders who bear this in mind are more likely to cultivate successful teams.
“Determining their performance determines your performance,” he explains in his new book, Passionate Leadership.
When “so-called leaders” blame employees, the environment or “the company” for the issues they face, they betray a failure to recognise their role and responsibilities, he says.
Before blaming an employee for poor performance, leaders should ask themselves what they are doing to help the worker to perform.
