     Summary

Middle Managers –here to stay, growing in numbers, and central to the success of every organization. Yet these core performers seem permanently relegated to the sidelines of corporate power. They are bashed by management gurus, dismissed by social scientists, and painted as victims by the media. Middle management remains a term associated with relentless downsizing corporate drudgery, and career dead ends. But is this popular picture accurate? Are middle managers really no longer valued by today’s performance-driven organizations? Who are they, and what kind of impact do they have on the rest of the company.
