Middle managers – often misunderstood and underestimated, are the unsung heroes of corporate life. Join us in this insightful episode of TeamWork a Better Way, as we break down the misconceptions, the stereotypes, and the uphill battle these middle management mavens face.

In this episode we'll dive headfirst into the world of middle managers and discuss how they're caught in the crossfire between the C-suite and the front lines. We've all seen the fictional characters like Michael Scott from "The Office," but are they really an accurate portrayal of these vital individuals?

Discover the shocking results of the McKinsey & Company survey that reveals the harsh realities middle managers face in today's corporate landscape. Only 20 percent feel their organizations genuinely support their role as people managers. Are we setting them up for failure?

We'll also navigate the post-pandemic challenges that have turned middle managers into multitasking jugglers. From remote work to talent retention, find out how these dynamics have reshaped their world.

And, hold your breath, we'll unveil revolutionary approaches to performance reviews that make those dreaded evaluations more personal, more meaningful, and—dare we say it—fun!

Whether you're a middle manager ready to rise above the stereotypes, a senior executive looking to tap into this hidden goldmine of talent, or just someone curious about the crazy world of corporate life, this episode promises laughter, controversy, and valuable insights into how to unleash the true potential of middle managers.

Tune in to “Stop “Giving Middle Managers the Middle Finger” on TeamWork a Better Way, and let's embark on a rollercoaster ride through the fascinating world of middle management.
