Team leaders, supervisors and other mid-range managers can sometimes suffer from “middle child” syndrome. They do not get the consideration given to individual contributors because they are categorized as leaders.  But they do not get the respect, deference, and resources that executives receive, because they are not executives.   

So how does one achieve performance goals and juggle the administrative tasks required for middle management success, without the weight of executive authority or direct impact on production?  

In this course, we will discuss what it takes to be an effective middle manager and reveal best practices to help you position yourself and your team for success.  

Topics will include:  

• What it means to be a middle manager 

• Positioning your team for success 

• Managing for performance 

Audience: Supervisors and other managers or team leaders not serving in an executive role.
