A Gallup poll of more 1 million employed U.S. workers concluded that the No. 1 reason people quit their jobs is a bad boss or immediate supervisor. Additionally, they determined that poorly managed work groups are 50% less productive and 44 % less profitable.

Disengaged workers have 37% higher absenteeism, 49% more accidents and 60% more errors and defects.
