Leading from the middle doesn't have to be hard.
Unfortunately, it’s rare that companies provide resources to help you lead your team and progress in your leadership career. And without it, what happens? Frustration, stress, and missed opportunities.
Strategic Leadership Lab is for managers who want to become leaders and leaders who want to get promoted to higher levels through better communication, people management, and influence.
How do you lead effectively?
You can maximize team strengths and talents by recognizing what people do best and when challenges arise and have conversations to uncover where there may be mis-matched strengths to role functions.
As you build trust through active listening and giving your team members opportunities to use their strengths, they'll be happier, more engaged, and productive.
Why Are Matrixed Workplaces So Hard for Middle Managers?
Matrixed organizations are designed for flexibility. But that flexibility often leads to conflicting demands from multiple leaders and emotional fatigue from managing up, down, and across.
You're also often held accountable without clear authority. That means constant communication loops and decision delays.
Middle managers are the backbone of these environments, but often go unappreciated and unsupported.
That's where Strategic Leadership Lab™ Courses & Resources come in to help you elevate your leadership skills, influence, and impact. Check it out.
Strategic Leadership Lab helps you elevate your management skills, enabling you to become an influential and promotable leader within your organization.Â

"It was my pleasure to work with Elissa. [She] had the innate ability to be a mentor and trainer while at the same time allowing me the autonomy to learn on my own. I would recommend Elissa as a Business Leader and as someone who I have worked with in two separate work environments as having the highest degree of integrity." - Chris S.
