It’s not personal.
It’s not personal.
Middle management is one of the toughest places to be in an organization. They often feel stuck and find themselves trapped in common pitfalls:
- Getting caught between the needs of senior managers and direct reports
- Trying to please everyone and ending up pleasing no one
- Believing everything is personal
Organizations often think the solution is to shuffle, fire or change the players to fix the issues. But the issues keep coming back. Because, the truth is, the vast majority of the problems are not personal at all but, rather, due to the predictable environments in which we operate – what we call systemic conditions.
We help leaders better understand their environment and the issues standing in the way of their success. More important, we help them put that learning into action.
