Overview

Middle-Managers Program

Middle Managers have a very unique and sometimes challenging role to play in organizations - the people below them expect them to empathize more with them while their supervisors expect them to drive results from their team members. This tension should create an opportunity for innovation and success, but often leads to frustration and stress for the middle managers and everyone around them. If middle-managers were better prepared for this reality, they will no doubt achieve better results.
