You’re leading your team. You’re translating chaos into clarity. But behind the scenes, you’re also managing your boss and it’s starting to wear you down. In this episode of the Launch Point Leader Podcast, hosts Lori May and Beau Noblitt tackle a letter from Middle Management Meltdown, a leader who’s stuck steering the ship from the middle while their scattered, idea-heavy boss shifts priorities without warning.
Lori and Beau break down how to set boundaries, create clarity, and communicate strategically when you’re leading up the chain of command. They share mindset shifts, conversation tips, and tactical strategies for thriving in a role where you feel more like the glue than the gear.
Whether you're working for a visionary, a founder, or a fast-moving executive, this episode equips you with real leadership tools for managing up without losing yourself in the process.
What You’ll Learn:✅ How to turn frustration into forward movement and reframe what leadership looks like
✅ Practical ways to codify the work you’re already doing and create visibility
✅ Conversation starters for aligning with your boss (even when they’re hard to pin down)
