520 _a"Middle managers--those with responsibility for managers or sizeable teams/divisions beneath them and who directly answer to senior management--make up a large portion of a corporation. The Outstanding Middle Manager, co-authored by business psychologists Gordon Tinline and Cary Cooper offers a fresh perspective on the role of the middle manager in the 21st century. Taking a holistic view of the position, Tinline and Cooper first situate the role in the changing work paradigm: flatter organizations, new working practices and expectations, cross-cultural and intra-generational factors in management. They then address the unique pressures and challenges middle managers face including: -managing work pressures of overload, resource shortages, and limited control -building resilience -influencing where you have limited power -getting the best out of both the team and overseers -developing a mid-level career -life management and how to achieve a healthy work-life balance With a focus on lateral development and progression, this book empowers middle managers to take control of their career and become more fulfilled, resilient, and satisfied"--

520 _a"Recent research shows that the number of people in senior specialist and middle management positions is growing. As organizations continue to flatten, the middle becomes the place where many will spend the majority of their careers. The Outstanding Middle Manager is the new guide to dealing with those pressures specific to the role and maximizing the opportunities to forge a fulfilling and balanced career in the middle. Drawing on the latest research into workplace trends, strategic management and work-life balance, Tinline and Cooper focus on middle management as an opportunity level. Readers can discover: strategies for managing upwards as well as downwards, how to deal effectively with generational differences and an evolving workplace, influencing, empowerment and team-building skills, and stress- and life-management strategies that bring clarity and purpose. With a focus on lateral development and progression as a career choice, The Outstanding Middle Manager empowers readers to take control of their mid-level career to become more fulfilled, more resilient and more satisfied"--
