The Middle is Hard, But it Doesn't Have to Be
Leading from the middle is not easy. In the words of Quint Studer, middle managers have the “toughest job anywhere.” If you’re a mid-level leader who can relate to this feeling—good news—you don’t have to stay stuck here. In this episode, Quint shares practices from his book, The Busy Leader’s Handbook, to help guide leaders with the unique challenges they face.
This episode addresses questions, such as:
- What are three key actions for middle leaders to execute during times of disruption?
- What can leaders do today to become a great leader?
- Why is self-awareness critical to leadership?
You can contact Quint directly at Quint@quintstuder.com or purchase the Busy Leader Handbook online.
