Some individuals who are wonderfully equipped in what they do are terribly equipped to supervise and in putting them in that role we both hurt them and those who end up reporting to them.

12 questions to measure the engagement of your staff from the Gallup organization
In my work with organizations, a common theme is that staff often don't feel that their organization or supervisors genuinely care about them, their work or their development.
