Middle managers are the glue, connectors, the conduit for an organisation’s success. The performance and productivity of frontline employees are directly influenced by middle managers. Senior leaders can rely on their middle managers to keep them up to date on what’s working, what’s not, as well the opportunities they can cease and leverage.
... balancing the demands of upper leadership with the needs of their teams. They face the challenge of driving productivity while fostering a positive work environment. Often caught in the middle of strategic directives and operational realities, they must exhibit strong communication and negotiation skills.
Additionally, the rapid pace of technological change requires them to continuously update their knowledge and adapt to new tools and processes.
Despite these hurdles, middle managers play a crucial role in the success and resilience of organisations. Amongst all this, middle managers need to have lead and manage...
hybrid working arrangements
high turnover(the quiet quitting)
a more socially aware workforce demanding more from their workplace, including ESG initiatives
unrelenting threats to cybersecurity
supply chain lags and the impact with trading partners
potential geopolitical impacts
Re-skilling and up-skilling are the two key areas of focus:
The World Economic Forum estimates we will need to re-skill more than 1 billion people by 2030. In addition to digital skills, specialised interpersonal skills will be in high demand in the new hybrid workplace.
We call them soft skills but there’s nothing soft about them.
Middle Managers will excel in their leadership when they continuously develop their soft skills.
The senior executives may set the direction but middle managers are perfectly positioned to help influence that direction - the strategic decision making - and the success of the how the decision is executed. Profitability, employee retention and satisfaction, and company culture all rely on the power of the middle managers.
Throughout the masterclass series, interactive exercises and real-world examples will illustrate how to implement the learning and strategies in your workplace. By the end of each session, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to lead yourself with confidence, engage your team through impactful performance and feedback conversations, develop your people and ultimately drive higher productivity and achieving organisational success.
