In this episode of Burn the Blueprint, Tony Franklin and Dr. Bridget Cooper pull back the curtain on one of corporate America’s biggest failures, the broken system of middle management. They dig into the impossible expectations placed on middle managers, the lack of real leadership training, and the cultural disconnect that leaves teams disengaged and organizations bleeding talent.
Using insights from Simon Sinek and eye-opening industry stats, Tony and Dr. B break down how poor training fuels burnout, turnover, and collapsing productivity. More importantly, they lay out a smarter path forward, calling for a shift from traditional “management” to true leadership built on emotional intelligence, accountability, and conflict-ready skills.
If you’re ready to rethink how companies build and support the people who carry the weight of the organization, join the conversation and discover how to make smarter, people-centered systems that drive performance.
