Practical Ideas For Becoming a Better Middle Manager. “Middle managers are like the middle child of an organization; often neglected by senior managers and blamed by their reports. However, they’re still expected to be as charming as the youngest and simultaneously as responsible as the oldest. We end up with middle child syndrome, enshrouded in conflict, wanting more of a say, and not sure how they fit in.” .

“The Ego is an exquisite instrument. Enjoy it, use it – just don’t get lost in it.” – Ram Dass. We’ve worked with them and for them – individuals in leadership positions who prioritize profits over people, place a greater value on transactions than interactions and view themselves on a higher level than those around them. While their ego-driven ambition may be effective in generating short-term gains, attaining goals is different from achieving growth.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

The old adage is that we don’t leave our jobs but rather our bosses, and one of the more obvious complaints we can have against our manager is that they treat us unfairly. It’s tempting to believe that this unfair treatment is due to personality differences, a lack of training on their behalf, or simply a lack of basic aptitude for leadership.

Many people also get the wrong idea about taking lots of time off and they think that it will damage their career and their life in some way.
