Help Leaders Get the Skills to be More Supportive
The term "manager isolation effect" refers to how a manager's functions can affect
both their direct reports' feeling of isolation and themselves.
Being a manager can be lonely. One factor that can contribute to loneliness is being
tasked with the responsibility for making decisions, some of which won't be favorable
to some or all employees.
Provide leaders with:
Intrapersonal skills (mental fitness, emotional intelligence, emotional literacy)
Interpersonal skills (communications, teambuilding, conflict resolution)
