Results of Bad Management
Bad Management Severely Impacts the Bottom Line of Companies
It’s essential for your business to nip bad management in the bud. The most common consequences of bad management on businesses include:
1. Staff productivity – Increased absenteeism and lack of enthusiasm for work. When these issues are present, company products and services can become more costly leading to an increase in prices. Increased prices result in decreased competitiveness, ultimately leading to a loss of profitability.
2. Discord at the workplace – Increased staff complaints, low morale, reduced employee retention, push back from staff, and legal ramifications.
3. Staff – Unhappy staff do not represent their employer well. Employees are the face of your company; they deal directly with your clients. When negative behaviours and attitudes are displayed by your staff it impacts the perception your customers have of your company.
4. Company reputation – A poor reputation leads to fewer new customers and current customers who are left unsatisfied with their service.
5. Resources –The cost of recruitment, as well as competitive salaries and other outgoings associated with new staff, can burn through your company’s resources while there is a lack of profits, resulting in severe financial troubles.
6. Recruitment – It will become increasingly more difficult to find new staff when your company is linked to bad management. The inability to recruit and retain new staff will put a strain on current employees, causing them to look elsewhere. A company without employees is a company without profit.
7. Company property – Employees who feel disrespected or underappreciated show a blatant disregard for company property. This leads to an increase in damaged tools, vehicles, materials, etc. These can be very costly items to replace.
8. Personal Time – A lack of staff or staff who perform subpar work due to bad management is going to take up all your free time. Instead of using your spare time to relax you will have to stay longer to complete jobs, spend time speaking with dissatisfied customers, attempt to rebuild your company’s reputation to secure new customers, etc. Working double time to counteract the damages from bad management within your company.
9. Suppliers – Bad management can go beyond your internal company operations, depending on the situation, an unruly manager can damage the relationship you have with your suppliers. Losing loyal suppliers can send a financial shockwave through your company.
10. Un competitiveness – As your costs increase for the reasons listed above, you will not be able to compete against your competitors.
