Impending 'Manager Crash' Looms Amid Burnout Crisis
A 'manager crash' is predicted for 2025 due to unaddressed burnout and lack of support for middle managers, according to meQuilibrium. This downturn in manager well-being could lead to increased turnover and decreased organizational success. To prevent this, companies must prioritize mental well-being and support for managers. The issue is exacerbated by layoffs and the reluctance of Gen Z workers to pursue management roles, highlighting the need for systemic changes to support middle management.
