Leadership Connections™ Program Summary
The Middle Manager is often placed in a difficult position where it is critical to understand the strategic direction from the Executive Team, and then translate that strategy into tactics for their direct reports to execute. Therefore, the ideal participant for Leadership Connections is responsible for managing other managers, leads more than one distinct business function, likely has full P&L responsibility and may have single responsibility for a staff function, e.g. Controller, or Director of Marketing.
