How Big Is the Management Gap in Your Business?

Your managers influence performance, productivity, morale, communication and whether good people stay or leave. But how well prepared are they to actually lead people?

Take the Leadership Gap Scorecard

If you have arrived here after reading Your Business magazine, this short scorecard will help you identify where your managers are strong, where gaps may exist and where those gaps could be affecting the business.

Score each statement honestly from 1 to 5.

1 = Rarely true
5 = Consistently true

1. Our managers communicate expectations clearly.

People understand what is expected, why it matters and what good performance looks like.

2. Our managers listen as well as they speak.

Employees feel heard and managers understand what is really happening within their teams.

3. Poor performance is addressed rather than avoided.

Managers deal with problems early instead of hoping they disappear.

4. Managers hold people accountable fairly and consistently.

Standards apply consistently rather than depending on personalities.

5. Managers know how to motivate different people.

They recognise that one management approach does not work for everybody.

6. Employees receive useful feedback and coaching.

Managers actively help people improve rather than only speaking when something goes wrong.

7. Managers delegate effectively.

They develop people rather than trying to solve every problem themselves.

8. Managers are confident having difficult conversations.

Conflict, attitude, behaviour and performance issues are handled constructively.

9. Managers lead change rather than simply announce it.

They help people understand and adapt when priorities, systems or expectations change.

10. Our managers have been properly developed to lead people.

They have received meaningful management development rather than simply learning through trial and error.

11. Good employees want to stay and work for our managers.

Leadership is helping us retain capable people rather than becoming a reason they leave.

12. Leadership training creates lasting changes in behaviour.

Managers apply what they learn consistently after training rather than returning to old habits.

Your Leadership Score

What Could Staff Turnover Be Costing You?

Poor leadership is not the only reason employees leave, but management quality can influence whether talented people stay.

Research reported by The HR Director found that replacing an employee earning £25,000 or more could cost an average of £30,614, including recruitment costs and lost productivity while the new employee gets up to speed.

Use this simple calculator to explore the potential scale of the cost.

This is an illustrative estimate only and is not a prediction of your actual replacement costs. Costs vary according to salary, seniority, recruitment method, sector, onboarding time and productivity loss.

What Do Your Results Mean for Your Managers?

A score is only useful if you do something with it.

Ultimate Leadership Training works with organisations across different industries to turn management knowledge into practical leadership habits.

That might mean a focused training course, development for a specific management team, or a longer leadership programme designed to change behaviour over time.
