Session: Leading from the Middle
When you hear the word ‘leader’, you immediately think of people who are owners of a company, Presidents or Prime Ministers or even people in senior leadership positions. However, people can show leadership in any role. It doesn’t matter what job we are in or where we sit in the hierarchy; we all collaborate and work with people to achieve our end goal. In the majority of cases, 90% of everything we do is people management. Most of us manage from the middle, with little or no authority but a great need to inspire and motivate those around us.
