How is your book helping others?
Middle management is perhaps the most underappreciated place in the corporate hierarchy. Yet, it’s where most people spend most of their careers. It’s also, arguably, where the most important work happens. No vision or strategy handed down from leaders at the top can come to life in the actions of thousands of employees without passing through the hands of underappreciated middle managers. There’s no way around it.
And yet, most middle managers are promoted into their roles with little guidance or training on how to manage up, lead teams, and influence organizations. Having never done these, managers are left feeling profoundly uncomfortable. This book seeks to close that gap and empower middle leaders with a toolkit of skills that will help them find greater success and satisfaction while driving results for the companies they support.
