Is the Era of the "Boss" Over? What if the true power in your organization doesn’t lie with the C-suite, but with your middle managers? How can companies bridge the widening compensation gap between executives and the vital leaders in the middle? Are middle managers the key to unlocking unprecedented organizational success? In the evolving business landscape, the role of the C-suite is shifting. No longer just top-down decision-makers, executives must now empower those who directly influence the day-to-day operations: middle managers. “Power to the Middle” by Bill Schaninger, Ph.D., Bryan Hancock, and Emily Field is a great bookd that outlines why middle managers are pivotal for organizational success and how their roles must be redefined and supported. Here is a brief summary of the most important insights from the book. Why Middle Managers Matter: 1️⃣ Talent Management: Middle managers are essential for attracting and retaining top talent. They create engaging environments that draw the best people, requiring recognition and rewards that match their contributions. 2️⃣ Coaching and Development: Middle managers should focus on mentoring and developing their teams, fostering a high-performance culture instead of merely enforcing rules. 3️⃣ HR Collaboration: Effective people management balances the efforts of middle managers and HR. Managers handle daily leadership while HR offers strategic support, ensuring alignment with organizational values. 4️⃣ Adaptability: Close to operations and strategy, middle managers guide organizations through rapid changes, making them critical for implementing strategic initiatives and responding to disruptions. 5️⃣ Recognition and Compensation: To truly empower middle managers, organizations must offer competitive compensation and career advancement opportunities within their roles, addressing the current compensation gap between them and the C-suite. Balancing Responsibility and Compensation: The C-suite must redefine its relationship with middle managers, shifting from traditional oversight to enabling and supporting these key leaders. This involves addressing the compensation disparity and ensuring middle managers are rewarded fairly for their contributions, which are crucial to organizational success. By doing so, companies can leverage the full potential of their middle management, driving both innovation and resilience in an ever-changing business environment. At re.set, we give the most importance to the role of the #squad #leader in new organizational models, which represents the middle management level described in the book.

We so appreciated catching up with Certified Integral Facilitator Claire Doody to hear more about how her organization, Work In Motion is facilitating the evolution of more adaptive, thriving, and human cultures. "I’m creating peer-based collaboration experiences for people who are leading organizational change, particularly in the area of HR, talent and skills-based organizations. These cohort-based accelerators bring together peers from different organizations to tackle shared challenges and to develop greater capacity to lead through uncertainty. I also run strategy intensives for cross-functional teams that are navigating change. I get most excited about the power of peer collaboration. In a complex and ever-changing world of work, peer collaboration feels like the right response. Too often we seek expertise or the “silver bullet” outside ourselves, or we believe “someone” has the right answer. Working with peers helps people find the confidence to jump right into the complexity of their situation and swim! My IF journey has been instrumental in helping me create these spaces. IF helped me develop a non-judgmental way of being and I think that helps others drop their work personas and relax into a curious and open mindset. I’m very curious about complexity and creativity - it’s my current focus of research. I feel like we spend a lot of time in organizations operating under an illusion of control, and if we can accept the complexity of the system in which we’re working, and accept that it can be messy and unknown, then creativity can really emerge. I’ve just got a 2nd hand copy of Ralph Stacey’s book Complexity and Creativity in Organizations, published in 1996. I’m looking forward to exploring the early thinking around this idea and moving forward from there." Learn more about Claire at workinmotion.io/ If you're ready to take the next step on the IF path, we'd love to meet you. Starting with a beautiful oceanside retreat, this rigourously-designed program is tailored to meet your specific learning intentions and context. Over 5 months, you'll experience a combination of individualized coaching, online learning sessions, live demonstrations, role plays, community Masterminds, peer practice sessions, a final Practicum and a Capstone Portfolio. We have a growing international cohort of facilitative leaders and practioners from a wide range of contexts joining IF 2024. Will you be the next one to claim your space alongside them?
