Ordering people around is harder than it looks. Just ask your manager.
A new survey from CareerBuilder asked more than 2,480 employers and 3,910 workers to rate their company's leaders.
Among the managers who were surveyed, 26% said they weren't ready to become leaders when they first took the job.
A quarter of them said dealing with issues between co-workers was their biggest challenge.
Motivating team members followed as a close second.
Interestingly, 58% of the leaders said they hadn’t received any management training before becoming a manager, which suggests that many managers are under-trained.
But they're good fakers. Of the workers who were surveyed, the majority of workers (59%) felt their boss was doing a good or even great job.
That number dropped to 50% when they were asked to rate their corporate leaders.
Nearly a quarter accused their boss of playing favorites, and 40% said that their company's corporate leaders didn’t listen to employees or try to raise morale.
