Middle management: misunderstood, under-trained, and essential.

In this episode of The People Profit Podcast, Sandy sits down with Jeff Sigel—CEO of Twinning Edge, speaker, coach, and author of The Middle Matters: A Toolkit for Middle Managers.

Jeff shares how middle managers can master the three critical roles—Doer, Leader, and Influencer—and develop what he calls an “Atomic Ownership Mindset.” He unpacks why managing up is often the most overlooked skill, how to break out of the chaos cycle, and the small mindset shifts that help you stop feeling like a victim and start leading with clarity.

If you lead from the middle—or coach those who do—this episode is your guide to thriving in the most complex layer of any organization.
