Help colleagues to be good people managers

McKinsey March 2023
As I looked deeper into McKinsey & Co's research on middle managers, this came up:

Only 20% of respondents agreed that their organisation gave them any help to be successful people managers, with a disturbing 42% disagreeing.

I expect that senior managers think they are giving middle layer colleagues the right  tools to do the job well. But I wager that this is about templates of tick-lists with little to go about how to go about using them.


'Yes, I carried out that performance review to the letter! I ticked all the boxes, asked all the listed questions - in the right order!
I might have come across as an ignorant, ill-informed bully  but there isn't a box to discourage that.'


This is what we are about. It is to do with getting hold of those KPI checklists and OKR status reviews and acting on them professionally.

As a middle leader, you will find yourself having to deal with a lot more people than before - a whole new group.  More clients, more stakeholders. And a different level of contact with senior managers.
