Often when I read a staggering, extraordinary statistic, I have to do some additional research before I totally believe it.Â

You know how it is: If some percentage seems too small or some dollar amount seems too big, you go digging for some supporting evidence.
So let me offer you today’s staggering statistic: According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 16% of managers received any kind of formal training within the past 12 months.
Another study, done in the U.K., found that 26% of managers had never received any kind of managerial training. Never.
Think about these numbers for a second.Â
The sad thing about these statistics is that I didn’t need to go and look this up and verify it.Â
