Middle Managers have an important role to play in organisations.

Connecting the overall strategy to the daily tactical tasks. It requires managing demands from above, providing resources to employees below and collaborating across departments.

A position that can be very rewarding, but also very challenging and overwhelming.

Great middle managers bridge the gap between senior leaders and individual contributors, and therefore drive the success of organisations. They play an integral part in translating ideas between layers of hierarchy, reducing friction, accelerating action and ensure organisations achieve their vision.

But first they need the right skills and support.As a manager do you have executive presence, emotional intelligence and the mindset in the pressure of the moment? Do you have the discipline and focus to avoid distractions and hold people accountable?

When managing people are you equipped with the skills to have courageous conversations, provide clarity in complex situations and create psychological safe environments? What does it take to manage remote, hybrid and in person teams? Are you ready to develop skills to elevate equity, activate diversity, and lead more inclusively?

• • CONFIDENCE – Self, projecting & inspiring confidence in others
