What comes to mind when you hear “middle manager”? The word “middle” often implies that the person is headed somewhere else—ideally, to the top. But middle management can be a destination rather than a way station, say McKinsey’s Emily Field, Bryan Hancock, and Bill Schaninger, whose new book Power to the Middle: Why Managers Hold the Keys to the Future of Work comes out today. In a new McKinsey Quarterly article adapted from the book, they explain that middle managers play a critical role of connecting and integrating people and tasks, and should be viewed as being at the center of an organization—which is why the best middle managers are often best off staying exactly where they are. Abandon the outdated assumptions about the middle layer of management and see why offering the right rewards to your most-valued managers can pay off in the long run.
