The Curse of the Middle Manager: All Pain, No Glory?

Episode #74 // Middle management roles are sometimes the toughest of any role in an organisation. However, if you have the right mindset and perspective, it is also the place where your leadership career is forged.

If you have already passed through middle management ranks, this is an opportunity to once again put yourself in a middle managers’ shoes.

If you are living the middle management dream right now, I have some tips that will hopefully help you to navigate the choppy waters ahead.

In this episode, I get really specific about the divergences between senior management and the workforce, that tend to strand a middle manager in between (with some practical suggestions, of course, for how to handle it).
