In a 2009 study, the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) came up with some interesting numbers.

CMI research found 68% of managers admitted to being ‘accidental managers’, not aspiring to a management career. It found 50% of staff thought they could do a better job of managing than their current line manager. An almost identical number (49%) said they would rather take a pay cut if it meant working with a better manager.

So, better managers (I find this unlikely) or no managers?
