In this episode our old punks are debating (and expressing some sympathy for) the position of the middle manager. In particular:
- Why in all those years of management training and leadership development so little progress has been made
- What of the recent developments in work have made the role of the middle manager even more challenging
- What systemic change is required and where we might look for alternatives
- How remote monitoring technology in this age of working from home has proliferated, and the next generation of tools is knocking on our doors, for better or for worse
Some recommended reading on the topics discussed:
- Neurotech at Work, Harvard Business Review, Mar-Apr 2023
