What About The Middle?
An Honest Look at the Future of Workforce Development
Virtual Executive Round Table | Thursday, November 20 | 11:00 AM ET
Mid-level leaders are breaking under the weight of responsibility, yet often remain invisible in workforce development strategies. They’re translating strategy into action, managing both up and down, and coaching frontline teams—without the resources, support, or safety they need to thrive.
According to Harvard Business Review, middle managers report the lowest levels of psychological safety in the workplace—even lower than frontline employees and senior executives. Nearly 60% are burned out, and one in three is considering leaving (Gartner, 2025). And yet, they are the single largest driver of engagement, performance, and culture.
Join a high-trust, invite-only round table with senior leaders across industries to explore:
What’s happening to the middle—and why it matters more than ever
Why traditional development models fail this layer
The ripple effects of low psychological safety on engagement, retention, and innovation
Emerging practices and real-world solutions from peer organizations
The role of Leadership Development Cohorts in reimagining support for mid-level talent
This is not a panel or webinar. It’s a facilitated, peer-level conversation for leaders ready to challenge the status quo and build the future of leadership from the middle out.
Who Should Attend:
C-Suite Executives, CHROs, VPs, and Heads of Talent or L&D responsible for shaping leadership strategy and organizational performance.
