NEAAPA Spring Leadership Seminar

Let’s face it, we are ALL middle managers. We all have someone we report to and people we serve. But the pressure we feel is not just from above or below… when it’s time to make a decision, we can feel the weight of our impact from our bosses, employees, guests, families, and friends… all at the same time.

• Reframe the view from the middle – less inward pressure, more outward influence
• Explore dynamic work structures that allow leaders to empower themselves as well as their teams
• Identify practical methods to manage and lead in 360 degrees

He truly believes that any human performance issue can be solved if we are willing to look in the right places - which could be in the mirror.
