I just got back from vacation. Sorry about the long stretch not posting on the blog, but the site was undergoing some changes. And, when I go on vacation, I go offline.
That most middle managers can’t go on vacation without being tethered to the office by a laptop or other mobile device is not only a crime, it’s counter-productive to the company. This is something that Albert Einstein knew on an experiential level. Whenever he had a problem he couldn’t tackle, he did something else. He spent time with friends and family. He gave his brain a break.

Ugh, it’s been longer than I wanted it to be since my last post.
Notice that?
I’m beating myself up over something that didn’t get done.
Not very helpful, is it? True statement, but not helpful.

Stuck in the Middle? Unleash Your Inner Cool Cucumber

Last post, we investigated our perceptions about truth-telling and perceived leadership maturity. Today, we’re examining the role of emotion and maturity.
Why’s this important? One of the many challenges for middle managers who are trying to move up or keep off the firing line is to be pereceived as someone who’s a “must” for the future of the organization. Most middle managers think this is yet another thing that’s out of their immediate control, but as a coach I’m here to tell you that there is a lot we can do to influence perceptions of us.
