The middle layer of most organizations is breaking — and most leaders don't realize it until the cracks are already showing.

Middle managers are underdeveloped, under-supported, and over-asked. They carry everything downhill from the executive team and everything uphill from their people, with little of the intentional support that would help them actually lead. The result? Disengaged teams, stalled execution, and a culture that erodes quietly — often before anyone at the top sees it coming.

This isn't a people problem. It's a systems problem. And it's fixable.

In this free, 60-minute interactive session, three practitioners who have spent their careers in and around the messy middle will share what's breaking, why it keeps breaking, and what it actually looks like to fix it. Expect honest conversation, real frameworks, and practical takeaways you can use immediately.

You'll walk away with:

• A clear picture of what an under-equipped middle is actually costing your organization

• The five non-negotiables for manager growth — built from 20 years of leadership development experience

• Practical tools for building accountability, closing capability gaps, and creating the conditions for sustainable change
