Power
In The Middle
 The
Challenge:
According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, more
and more people want to get out of "middle" (supervisory and
management) positions. These jobs are too stressful, too demanding,
unmanageable, and unrewarding. Yet, in order to survive in these turbulent
times, organizations need competent, effective, and empowered middles.
The Presentation:
This live two-hour presentation is based on Barry Oshry's
seminal studies of middle positions in organizational life. The presentation
examines the usual middle pattern whereby middles become torn, weak,
ineffective, not able to satisfy anyone adequately, and disempowered
individually and collectively. It then offers concrete strategies for
unleashing the full value of the middle position, and demonstrates how
middles can become the key players in
organizational success.
Unique
Features:
 |
It
provides a proactive approach for pessimistic, skeptical middles
who are caught in that tearing position. |
|
It
offers a framework that de-personalizes middle issues and begins
to make them manageable. |
|
It
takes a complex subject and presents it in an easy-to-swallow fashion. |
|
It
includes ample time for hard-hitting questions and answers. |
|
It
can be followed by a half-day experiential workshop that becomes
a practice field for trying out alternative approaches to the middle
role. |
Intended
Audience:
For those who feel "the middle squeeze" whatever
their level or position, and for those who manage middles.
