Inside Job

164: We're All Middle Managers with Scott Mautz


Listen Later

Do you have people in your organization who report to you?

Do you report to others in your organization?

Does your work require you to work with other people at your same level or other departments entirely?

If you answered yes to these questions, according to Scott Mautz, the chances of you being stressed in your job just went up as a result of being middle management; even if you don’t realize that’s your role.

Scott Mautz is a former corporate executive, a keynote speaker, a coach, and the author of three bestselling books; including Leading from the Middle.

There are a lot of resources out there for how to lead those who report to you and how to climb the corporate ladder, but there aren’t that many for how to lead your peers and get them to help you out when you need it most. That’s where we focused our conversation with Scott in this week’s episode.

Whether you consider yourself middle management or not, you’re likely to find some great nuggets in this episode that will help you lead others more easily and reduce the amount of stress you feel in your work.
