The Programme

Leading from the Middle: The High Impact Middle Manager

Organisations need a solid core mid-level managers and leaders. The bridge between the executive level and the front line, mid-level managers are responsible for the execution and for turning senior leaders’ vision for the organisation into reality.  They manage people, budgets and operational processes, and have first-hand knowledge of the important issues and problems, and where opportunities exist.   Mid-level managers are pivotal in the successful execution of senior management strategic initiatives, and are ultimately the leaders that make change happen or make things even worse.

The High Impact Middle Manager: Leading from the Middle enables mid-level leaders of organisations to confidently marshal the complex network of resources that are necessary to meet their mandate and successfully drive business strategy. The extraordinary programme is designed to accelerate development by helping the mid-level managers broaden their perspective and exposure, strengthen critical leadership influencing skills and experiences, build and leverage organisational-wide relationships.

A rigorous capacity building intervention, the programme is focused on business application, engaging participants with self-knowledge tools, self-directed and peer learning, case studies and networking opportunities that are relevant to mid-level leaders and how they learn. The discovery learning experience reinforces participants’ mid-level developmental skills and competencies through relevant action learning assignments and on-the-job application plans. Participants leave the programme with an enterprise-wide perspective, a greater awareness of the challenges they face, and an increased ability to affect positive and lasting impact on themselves and their organisation.

The end-result? 21st Century mid-level leaders groomed for future succession.   Organisational mid-level bench strength are enhanced with mid-level managers who perceive their role as building a supportive high-performance work culture that inspires and empowers everybody to consistently work together to achieve more.
