As a manager starts out, their growth, or progress is generally slow and steady since this is the time they take to learn the ropes and get to know the office. However, after a period of time on the job, the manager should show signs of larger growth and expansion. Their skills and job areas should have areas of progression and statistics that have increased in numbers. If a manager is in the same spot they were from the day they started, they are not showing growth on the job and are not helping the company move along. If this is the case, speak with the manager privately and have their latest data report showing the lack of movement to demonstrate what you are concerned about. Offer assistance and find what areas should be focused on. Emphasise growth and let them know how important it is for them to show some progress soon.
Signs of little or no growth:
- Low numbers or statistics
- No acquirement of new skills
- Lack of job promotion
- Disgruntled subordinate employees
