In our current workplaces most businesses, your managers are under more pressure than ever before.
Many organisations are seeing rising rates of stress, disengagement, and poor performance from middle and senior managers. In addition, it’s often challenging to create unity within hybrid and remote teams and to overcome significant communication challenges. But these challenges aren’t a sign of individual weakness; they’re a sign that support systems are failing.
At Aim Higher Training, we work with businesses every day to build confident, high-performing managers through targeted coaching and accredited management programmes.
Here’s why your managers might be struggling and what you can do about it.
The Top 5 Reasons Managers Are Struggling
1. Managers have Been Promoted Without Proper Training
Many managers are promoted based on their technical expertise, rather than their leadership ability. They’re handed responsibility but rarely possess the tools to lead people effectively.
Solution: Our Level 3 Management Qualification and Coaching Programme equips managers with practical skills in communication, delegation, team development, and performance management – precisely what they need to thrive.
2. Manager are Overloaded and Burned Out
Juggling operational responsibilities, team support, and reporting pressures can overwhelm even the best managers. Without boundaries and prioritisation strategies, burnout is inevitable.
Solution: Our coaching programme helps managers identify stressors, manage workload effectively, and build personal resilience, improving well-being and productivity.
3. They Lack Confidence in Managing People
Managing conflict, giving feedback, and motivating a team don’t come naturally to everyone. Managers often fear “getting it wrong” and hold back from leading decisively.
Solution: Aim Higher’s management and coaching programme delivers sessions that equip managers with the confidence and emotional intelligence necessary to lead with clarity and compassion.
4. Managers Actions are Not Aligned with Strategic Goals
Managers are the link between senior leadership and frontline teams. If they don’t understand the vision, how can they inspire their teams?
Solution: Our programmes include strategy translation and goal-setting modules to help managers lead with purpose and drive results aligned with your business goals.
5. They Feel Unsupported and Isolated
Management can be lonely. Without peer support or professional development, your leaders may feel they’re facing challenges alone.
Solution: Our coaching and development sessions foster collaboration, reflective practice, and shared problem-solving. We encourage the introduction of mentoring programmes and create a safe space for managers to grow together.
