The Challenge
The supply chain industry is experiencing a significant shift in leadership dynamics, with a growing emphasis on middle management's role in organizational success. These "sandwich generation" leaders face unique challenges as they balance the expectations of upper management with the needs of their teams. Many struggle to effectively lead from the middle, lacking the tools and support to empower their teams while driving results that align with company objectives.
The lab will focus on addressing these challenges and generating solutions to the following questions:
- How can middle managers effectively navigate the demands of both upper management and their direct reports?
- What strategies can be employed to empower teams and foster a culture of innovation and productivity from a middle management position?
- How can middle managers develop their leadership skills to become more effective bridges between strategic vision and operational execution?
- What tools and resources are most beneficial for supporting and developing the next generation of middle managers?
- How can organizations create pathways for middle managers to contribute to high-level decision-making processes while maintaining their operational responsibilities?
- What are the best practices for middle managers to communicate effectively both up and down the organizational hierarchy?
