The term evokes a bygone industrial era in which managers functioned like cogs in a vast bureaucratic machine. In recent decades, midlevel managers became a favourite target for the chopping block—underappreciated and often considered a superfluous layer of the organisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot only does this outdated perspective need to change, but the future demands it.

They explain how middle managers are uniquely positioned close to the ground yet maintain a crucial connection to company strategy.
