A Toolkit from The Smarty Train

Level Up Your Line Managers

73% of today’s line managers are actively disengaged at work.

Research has shown that 75% of people who voluntarily left their role did so for reasons their line manager could directly influence.

Put simply: people don’t leave companies, they leave line managers. Are your line managers a priority in your development strategy? Are you equipping them to retain your talent?

Our 2025 Line Manager Toolkit uses science and human-centred principles to explore how best to level up your line managers to be higher-performing, at a time when a new approach to leadership is sorely needed for organisations to thrive.
