The challenge

Strategy is set at the top and stalls in the middle.

  1. 01

    Senior leaders announce a new priority, and middle managers pass it on without explaining why it matters.

  2. 02

    Your middle managers spend the week in meetings and firefighting, with no time left to develop their people.

  3. 03

    Two departments chase conflicting targets, and their managers escalate rather than resolve it between themselves.
