Leadership Tea Managing from the Middle & the Power of Emotional Intelligence | S2 EP5
How can you keep team morale high when the people above you can't see eye to eye? Managing from the middle can feel like walking a tightrope when you're caught in the crossfire of clashing bosses. Drawing from our personal experiences, Belinda and Shelby reveal the art of leading small teams while gracefully managing upwards.
We explore the power of emotional intelligence in turning a challenging dynamic into an opportunity for growth. Discover how we approached bosses who didn’t get along, and the proactive steps we took to safeguard our teams. Whether you're a middle manager seeking advice or simply curious about the nuances of corporate life, this episode will help you thrive in the middle.
