"People don't leave their jobs, they leave their managers"
: The book author Dr.
Travis Bradberry, who specializes in the field of emotional intelligence, sure.

When competent colleagues quit: the most common reasons at a glance
Are you toying with the idea of changing jobs?
There are many reasons for this step, such as an area of responsibility that does not correspond to one's own abilities and interests, too little salary, annoying colleagues or dissatisfaction with the boss.
When employees leave the company because of their manager, the reasons are usually as follows
, as author Travis Bradberry describes in the Linkedin interview:
The boss overwhelms
you: "Nothing drives good employees away like overwork.
It's so tempting to overwhelm your best people that managers often fall into this trap,” explains Bradberry.
Basically logical: If you perform well, you will be entrusted with more or more important tasks.
But for employees, this can lead to them feeling punished for their good performance.
Lack of recognition
: A mistake many leaders make: they give too little praise.
With fatal effects: Employees feel undervalued, which can affect their motivation.
The manager does not care about their subordinates
: “More than half of people who leave their jobs do so because of their relationship with their boss.
Smart companies make sure their managers know how to strike a balance between professionalism and humanity.
These are the bosses who celebrate an employee's success, empathize with those who are going through a difficult time, and challenge people even when it hurts," Bradberry told LinkedIn.
On the other hand, if the manager is not personally committed and does not care about their employees, the risk that employees will quit increases.
Hiring the wrong people
: Good workers want to work with equally capable colleagues.
But when management hires unsuitable people, the entire team suffers.
If lazy and incompetent colleagues are also promoted just because the manager has a good relationship with them, that puts every good employee on the run.
Employee creativity is not encouraged
: Talented employees are usually always looking to improve work processes.
If you take away this opportunity, the risk of termination increases, as reported by Business Insider.
