Manager Engagement Hits 22% in 2025 - John Briggs' 3.3 Rule Offers Recovery Plan
Nov 14, 2026
Gallup reports manager engagement fell from 27% to 22% in 2025. The Real John Briggs responds with the 3.3 Rule, a recovery rhythm helping business owners protect energy while keeping teams engaged.
Draper, United States, November 14, 2026 /PressCable/ -- The Real John Briggs is introducing a structured recovery rhythm for managers, built around its 3.3 Rule. The offering responds to a reported fall in manager engagement worldwide, giving business owners who lead teams a concrete framework rather than general commentary on the trend.

The scale of the decline helps explain the timing. Gallup's reporting shows global manager engagement dropped from 27% to 22% in 2025, a five-point fall in a single year, with a nine-point decline since 2022, while engagement among individual contributors has stayed largely stable over that same period.
That gap points to a cost that extends into emotional and psychological wellbeing. Research from Gallup indicates leaders are more likely than individual contributors to report daily stress, anger, sadness, and loneliness, even though leaders generally report higher overall wellbeing; managers absorb pressure from both directions, coaching their teams while answering for results, a position that takes a toll few general wellness programs address.
Engagement itself appears to soften that toll. The same research reports that engaged managers experience fewer negative emotions day to day and are substantially more likely to be thriving than peers who are less engaged. That finding gives the 3.3 Rule its rationale: helping managers re-engage, rather than simply endure, changes their emotional experience of the work.
The 3.3 Rule translates that idea into daily practice, building routines around deliberate breaks, clearer priorities, and sustainable patterns for coaching conversations, communication, and focused work for people managing a team while still carrying their own workload.
For service-based business owners who supervise staff, the stakes are personal and organizational. Protecting manager wellbeing while keeping a team engaged calls for honest workload and priorities reviews rather than encouragement to push through. The 3.3 Rule gives owners a repeatable rhythm for that review, pairing recovery for themselves with clearer direction for the people they lead.
That pairing reflects the broader work of The Real John Briggs, which focuses on helping founders build businesses that run on clarity and sustainable systems rather than constant hustle. Reducing overwhelm and protecting manager wellbeing are treated as business fundamentals, with direct consequences for team performance and consistency.
