The Warwick based League Managers Association want to buck the trend of managers being sacked for poor results.
LMA chief executive Richard Bevan told BBC Sport: "Time, sadly, is not a commodity afforded to managers. "Certainly it is understandable at times that chairmen have been spooked by results, empty seats or fans' pressure. But stability is imperative to deliver results.
"Instability at clubs can cause very real damage to the wider good of the game.
"Simply dismissing a manager after a poor run is detrimental not only to the club but to the game itself.
"The LMA is working hard to change football's mindset, working on the recruitment process of managers and ensuring that the clubs and managers set realistic goals and aspirations."
