Member Thought Leadership
The managers who bridge senior leadership and frontline teams play a vital role in shaping organizational success. Many of these professionals have been promoted from an individual contributor position into leadership for the first time or are in an elevated leadership role without the necessary guidance and training to address increasingly complex challenges and systems. These leaders execute strategy, engage teams, and navigate competing priorities. Despite these leaders’ critical contributions, organizations often underinvest in leadership development at this level, leaving these managers without the tools to thrive.
Often referred to as the "messy middle," this group of leaders is pivotal in organizational success, yet many times overlooked in leadership development efforts and investment. The consequences of this neglect are significant: disengagement, siloed teams, and high turnover.
