The Lady Rebel Leader Podcast

Middle management is often a challenging position to be in – especially the firs time. Being promoted can feel great until you realise that the new level requires skills that you don't yet have, but your new position comes with a set of expectations that you know what you're doing! Unsurprisingly, middle managers experience high levels of stress and burnout within systems that often do not provide the level of personal or professional development support that is actually needed.And that is why Lisa Robyn Wood – the Middle Management Coach – does what she does.In this fabulous conversation Lisa gives us her perspective on the challenges of middle management, as a former middle manager, and now coach to those in middle management. Lisa strongly believes that middle management shouldn't be sh*t and she is on a mission to equip middle managers with the competencies and confidence to manage up and down with ease.Her observations of women in middle management and their unique challenges are especially interesting.If you'd like to know what kind of middle manager you are, Lisa has also created a quick quiz which gives you your profile and areas for development which you can access HERE.
