Document Highlights 

Today, middle managers are in demand again. Organizations recognize that these managers are a vital resource for drawing information into the organization and acting on it. They also recognize that middle managers are ideally positioned to support the change.

  • brokering opportunities for innovation and collaboration;
  • ensuring communications; and
  • providing expertise and project management.
