- Many of the nearly 400,000 UK workers aged 18-24 surveyed feel that their manager is holding them back.
- Faced with rushed deadlines, constant pressure to cut corners, pointless, short-term objectives, and an almost complete denial of the time and space needed to do things correctly, it would take a miracle to produce strong motivation in anyone.
- But don’t blame the managers. The problem lies in the nature of today’s working environment.
- A combination of red tape, too many day-to-day pressures, and lack of support from their own bosses.
- Being held back by bureaucracy, poor resources, and a lack of guidance and help.
- Fewer than half those polled believing they are fully using their skills in their current job, and just three out of 10 adamant they "play to their strengths".
