One in three employees would change their manager if they could, a survey from Investors in People has suggested.
Poor communication and managers claiming credit for someone else's work were the chief gripes amongst workers.
Bosses who take an interest in their employees' careers and who delegate tasks effectively are the most popular amongst staff.
Long-term staff were less happy with their bosses than new joiners, the survey suggested.
Employees in bigger firms were more likely to want to swap their manager than those in small companies.

"The fact that almost a third of employees would like a new manager should make bosses sit up and take notice," Ruth Spellman, chief executive of Investors in People, said.
"Managers need to focus their efforts on setting clear tasks and targets for their staff.
"Managers should also take note of the messages around delegation, remaining firm but fair, and the importance of looking after their people's careers."
Investors in People surveyed 1,700 UK adults.
