Why Your Best IT Managers Quit
CIO, Monday, March 4th, 2024
Understanding the chief reasons top managers leave is critical for CIOs seeking to develop and retain high-performing teams. Compensation aside, leadership, culture, and stagnation top the list.
It's one of those sayings that sticks around: People quit managers, not jobs.
But, for all its staying power, is it actually accurate?
When it comes to why your best IT managers quit, the answer is yes, no, and maybe.
Yes, top managers - like all high performers - are less likely to tolerate working for a bad boss; because they typically are more driven (which is why they're valuable employees), they're more willing to seek a better gig.
