The Importance of Middle Management Training
Training for middle management is often neglected, despite its critical role in an organization. While frontline workers and senior leaders typically receive the most training, middle managers frequently receive little to no formal education in leadership or management skills. This lack of training can leave skilled employees, who have been promoted based on their technical expertise, ill-prepared for their new roles, leading to challenges like poor delegation and ineffective team management. Addressing this gap is essential for companies to ensure that their middle management can effectively support both operational needs and employee development.
