Managing up, down, and side to side, middle management can be challenging. Truly “owning” middle management requires being fully engaged, proactive, and committed to driving success within your organization’s structure. Middle management also entails accountability for the outcomes and results of the team’s efforts, as well as ensuring alignment between both upper management and front-line employees. The middle management layer of an organization also serves as the link between company strategy and tactical implementation to drive business success. Join two middle managers to gain tangible examples on owning your role, navigating your organization’s structure, effective communication across all levels and when to use your voice. Equip yourself with ideas and lessons you can use to foster teamwork and collaboration, managing conflicts, and driving organizational change to enhance your effectiveness as middle managers and contribute to the overall success of your teams and organizations.
