Rethinking The Role Of The Middle Manager 🏆

🚀 Rethinking the Middle Management Conundrum.

🔎 Sandwiched between the C-suite and the front-line, middle managers have long been the unsung heroes of corporate landscapes, often overlooked.

⚠️ Outdated approaches push high performers into management roles, disconnecting successful people leaders from their teams.

🔄 We need to transform five outmoded assumptions. No longer should employees advance by leaving their current roles, nor should high performers be pushed into ill-fitting management roles.

💡 Let's create two career tracks: one that validates strong individual contributors and another rewarding great people managers.

🎯 Remember: promoting isn't always the best recognition. Many proponents of middle management prioritize autonomy, responsibility, and compensation over ascent.

🏆 It’s time we truly valued our middle managers. Companies with managers exhibiting healthy management behaviors generate significantly greater returns.
