In 2023, the Act2Manage team embarked on an ambitious research project to explore a critical question: To what extent do Bulgarian people managers apply widely accepted management practices?
We also sought to uncover the key factors influencing the application of leadership knowledge in Bulgaria. Through our research, we faced a significant challenge — there is no universally agreed-upon definition of what makes a “good” leader or the essential skills required for leadership, neither in practice nor in international literature. We finally concluded to investigate those behaviours that show the highest correlation to employee engagement.
We present the key findings of our research, conducted among Bulgarian leaders, which also provide valuable insights for leaders in other CEE countries.
“Considering the 19 leadership practices we have investigated, neither the years of managerial experience nor holding a senior executive position or gender or generational demographics affect their application.”
Our research dives deep into the traits and practices shaping successful leaders and organizations.

“Our research puts a challenge on the popular belief of leading by example: we constantly find low correlation between the manager’s and the supervisor’s leadership behaviour.”
… that leadership development is key to unlocking the potential of both individuals and organizations. Our mission is to empower leaders with the practical skills and knowledge they need to create thriving workplaces.
