Middle managers are vital to organizational health and performance. How can you best support them?
On Point
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
• A dearth of diversity. Many corporate DEI pledges that came out of the racial unrest of 2020 have not translated into meaningful gains for women and people of color, a 2023 study finds. An analysis of roughly 800 US public firms by researchers from Columbia Business School and the London Business School found that women comprise 39% of the workforce of those companies, whereas minorities constitute 36%. Among middle managers, only 6% are Hispanic and 4% are Black. Organizations become more racially homogenous at higher levels, the research also found. [Fortune]
• The power of the middle. Organizations with top-performing managers yield stronger shareholder returns than those that don’t, research by McKinsey partner Emily Field and colleagues reveals. But far from being the relationship builders they want to be, middle managers spend much of their time bogged down with administrative tasks. Only 20% of those surveyed strongly agree that their organizations help them to become better people managers, even though strong managers can reduce attrition, support talent acquisition, and bolster employee well-being and psychological safety.
• Charting a (middle) course to success. Successful middle managers aren’t just nice to have; they are key contributors to both organizational health and financial performance. As such, organizations have an immense opportunity to invest in these vital roles. Leaders can, for instance, reset manager roles to remove unnecessary bureaucracy, investing in technologies to help automate tasks and reduce meetings so that managers can focus their energies on developing others. Consider five actions leaders can take to help their middle managers (and organizations) succeed.

Increasingly, what’s good for the African economy is good for the rest of the world
On Point
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
• Growing and resilient. Despite shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic, surging food prices, and higher borrowing costs, many African economies remain resilient. According to an index of the 100 businesses in the continent that are growing the fastest, companies in a wide range of sectors, including in commodities, fintech, healthcare, and renewable energy, expanded their businesses at a time of global lockdowns. Entrepreneurship is also alive and well. In 2021, tech start-ups garnered $5.2 billion, triple the amount they raised in 2020. [FT]
• Still growing. As home to the world’s youngest and fastest-growing population, Africa presents many opportunities for strong, inclusive growth. This may enable Africa to improve its productivity and reverse the economic deceleration it faced from 2010 to 2019, according to McKinsey senior partner Acha Leke and colleagues. Today, 60% of Africa’s population lives in poverty, yet half of its people live in countries that have thrived on the continent, and new McKinsey research finds that Africa is still growing and developing.
• Shift to services. The African economy has shifted profoundly over the past 20 years, as people left work in the fields to take jobs in trade and other services in cities. Employment in services increased from 30% to 39% over that period, although half the workforce remained in agriculture. The services sector makes up a large part of the continent’s economic output, contributing 56% in 2019. See more ways that the African economy is changing, and what role large private-sector firms can play in rekindling economic progress there.

What makes a CEO exceptional: A leader’s guide
Share this email
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
The more outstanding its leader, the better an organization performs. There’s even a name for this outcome: CEO alpha. Coined by McKinsey, the term “refers to when a company outperforms because its CEO is also outperforming,” says McKinsey senior partner Sacha Ghai. While the concept of CEO alpha applies particularly to the financial sector, it can occur in any industry—a CEO who can create alpha needs to have certain distinctive capabilities, including being able to conduct strategic planning in a short time frame, working effectively with boards, allocating resources dynamically, and creating value with new technologies. And “having a CEO who is a fabulous talent developer and recruiter, who can pitch a terrific story and who surrounds him- or herself with outstanding talent, makes all the difference in the world,” says Ghai.
That’s how much more likely exceptional CEOs are than others to conduct a strategic review in the first two years of their tenure, according to research led by McKinsey’s Michael Birshan, Thomas Meakin, and Kurt Strovink. By making such bold moves early on, exceptional CEOs build strategic momentum. They are less likely than average CEOs to undertake organizational redesign or management-team reshuffles in their first two years on the job. “There are only so many initiatives and changes that organizations and people can absorb in a short space of time,” the McKinsey experts say. “Investing in a robust strategic review will provide a surer perspective for setting a strategic direction. A grounding in the organization’s context, meanwhile, will help calibrate the speed and scope of change.”
That’s McKinsey senior partner Liz Hilton Segel in a podcast on CEO priorities for 2023. “This is a time for courage—for asking yourself what you feel inspired to change now,” she says. Whether it’s an M&A strategy or investing in new capabilities, leaders may just want to forge ahead bravely, suggests Segel, as courage itself can be a competitive advantage in turbulent times. She notes that bold actions can “set the tone of an aspirational mindset and culture—to not accept the deck you’re handed as a given, but rather to say, ‘How am I going to make a play out of this?’” It’s also essential for CEOs to “dream big,” says McKinsey senior partner Homayoun Hatami. “There are lots of opportunities out there for new-business building.”
For Vipul Chawla, group CEO of Singapore’s FairPrice supermarket chain, excelling in his role is about being hands-on—including picking, packing, and fulfilling orders in his first few months on the job. “I said to myself that unless I invested at least 100 hours doing something, I didn’t have the license to even have a conversation with my team, let alone make decisions,” he says in a discussion with McKinsey senior partner Rohit Razdan. His stint as a cashier, for example, enabled Chawla to see that customer transactions at checkout were needlessly complicated and could be simplified: “It created an empathy for what our staff went through and what was possible.” This empathetic approach underlies the three pillars of Chawla’s leadership strategy: culture, purpose, and people. “Those are the three things I’m maniacally focused on,” he says.
You’re midway through your career, as a chief executive or other senior leader, and things are going well: you’re expanding your knowledge, refreshing your strategy, and positioning your organization for the future. But how long can you sustain this level of engagement and achievement? Certainly not forever. This is why good CEOs also know when it’s time to quit. Personal goals, poor fit, burnout, lack of new ideas, and shifting priorities are among the many reasons senior executives choose to step down. As business conditions change, leaders may need to hone their ability to spot when it’s time to leave—preferably before they are forced to do so.
Lead exceptionally well.

Rapid organizational change means CEOs need to step up with a strategic response
On Point
Brought to you by Liz Hilton Segel, chief client officer and managing partner, global industry practices, & Homayoun Hatami, managing partner, global client capabilities
• Mind the skills gap. A rapidly evolving job market means that the global skills gap is growing. By 2027, the world’s labor markets will add roughly 70 million new jobs, but 83 million may be cut, according to the World Economic Forum. Its 2023 Future of Jobs report lists the top ten in-demand skills, a mix of “soft skills,” such as curiosity and lifelong learning, and “hard skills,” such as tech literacy. By recognizing the importance of a tech-literate workforce, employers could start reconsidering degree requirements and creating more flexible job paths. [Fortune]
• A need for speed. Organizational changes are afoot, touching everything from companies’ working models (in person versus remote) to productivity (balancing the power of generative AI with its inherent risks). Research by McKinsey senior partner Dana Maor and colleagues reveals that organizational structures often prevent leaders from responding to these shifts. By increasing speed—removing hierarchy to empower employee-led decision making—companies can be better prepared for the ongoing rapid pace of change. Forming smaller, cross-functional teams is one way to move at pace.
• Leadership redefined. Change without strong leadership can be disorienting for employees. Having the right talent in the right place and creating a culture of learning and flexibility can help companies succeed even during uncertain times. A top-down approach to understanding what people care about, from coaching opportunities to recognition for a job well done, means making leadership authentic and personal. Read our article to see four “superpowers” that can help CEOs appropriately respond to organizational changes.

10 principles for building resilient payment systems (by Shopify)
Shopify has some precious tips for building resilient payment systems.
Lower the timeouts, and let the service fail early
The default timeout is 60 seconds. Based on Shopify’s experiences, read timeout of 5 seconds and write timeout of 1 second are decent setups.Install circuit breaks
Shopify developed Semian to protect Net::HTTP, MySQL, Redis, and gRPC services with a circuit breaker in Ruby.Capacity management
If we have 50 requests arrive in our queue and it takes an average of 100 milliseconds to process a request, our throughput is 500 requests per second.Add monitoring and alerting
Google’s site reliability engineering (SRE) book lists four golden signals a user-facing system should be monitored for: latency, traffic, errors, and saturation.Implement structured logging
We store logs in a centralized place and make them easily searchable.Use idempotency keys
Use the Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier (ULID) for these idempotency keys instead of a random version 4 UUID.Be consistent with reconciliation
Store the reconciliation breaks with Shopify’s financial partners in the database.Incorporate load testing
Shopify regularly simulates the large volume flash sales to get the benchmark results.Get on top of incident management
Each incident channel has 3 roles: Incident Manager on Call (IMOC), Support Response Manager (SRM), and service owners.Organize incident retrospectives
For each incident, 3 questions are asked at Shopify: What exactly happened? What incorrect assumptions did we hold about our systems? What we can do to prevent this from happening?

Are you on social media? Here’s how businesses can use social channels to stand out.
On Point

• Influencing by another name? A new group of online trendsetters called “deinfluencers” are telling their followers what not to buy. Typically, they try to dissuade users from purchasing overpriced products and participating in what they perceive as wasteful trends. While deinfluencers can keep brands honest, they’re still part of the overall social media hype cycle—and might even be paid by rival brands, a social media analyst shares. [CNN]
• Waiting to hear back. McKinsey has identified social media’s four primary functions for businesses, including using social channels to respond to consumer requests. While companies face growing pressure to be present and responsive online, only about half are meeting expectations for response time on social media, per a recent study. Addressing online complaints quickly could increase shoppers’ positive feelings about a brand while delivering a great customer experience, McKinsey senior partner Renny Thomas and colleagues explain.
• Bye-bye, brand loyalty. Three-quarters of customers changed the way they shopped, the products they bought, or tried a new store during the COVID-19 pandemic, senior partner Kelsey Robinson and coauthors find. In a time of decreasing consumer loyalty, companies that personalize their social media channels may improve performance. Tailoring messages to individuals can lower customer acquisition costs, increase revenue, and drive conversions, studies show. For more on social commerce, the latest social media strategies and trends, and key business risks, explore our McKinsey Explainer on social media.
