Join us for… a fast-paced, engaging Q&A session of Chief Learning Officers & Chief Talent Officers sharing insights on workforce strategies for leadership development for mid-level management roles.

One of i4cp's top five strategy Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) is "Alignment of Middle Manager Behavior to Strategy". A key ingredient to executing business strategy is the middle manager, and high-performance organizations are 9x more likely to address the issue of middle manager behavior to ensure it is consistent with the strategy. Middle managers play a critical role in successful strategy execution. They translate the strategy into specific actions, adjust the plan based in response to on-the-ground realities, leverage informal networks, and knowledge about how to get things done and engage and align employees with the strategy.

To help guide the roundtable discussion, our facilitator will focus the panelists on some or all of the following discussion points...

• Why are middle managers so important to business strategy?
• What challenges are middle managers facing today that they were not facing a decade ago?
• Describe what makes for a successful transition from front line managers or individual contributor to middle manager?
• How is succession planning for middle managers handled in your organization?
• What are recent trends with development solutions trends for middle managers?
• Which are specific leadership skills and competencies for middle managers?
• How do we help middle managers tune in to the needs of the business?
• How is the program(s) designed to accelerate development?
