Description

Is middle management fading away, or is it evolving into something new? This episode explores how automation, AI, and shifting workplace dynamics are reshaping the traditional role of middle managers. With layoffs disproportionately affecting these positions and companies relying more on technology for task management, what’s being lost in the process? Beyond efficiency, management has always played a crucial role in mentorship, decision-making, and human connection. Can AI truly replace those elements? And if middle management continues to shrink, what skills will be most valuable in the future of work? This conversation unpacks the data, the challenges, and the opportunities for leaders looking to adapt. Tune in to explore what’s next for management, the rise of coaching as a critical skill, and how to stay indispensable in a rapidly changing workplace.
