Emily Field: Power to the Middle Emily Field is a partner at McKinsey & Company. She works with leaders to shape data-driven organizational strategies designed to achieve business objectives, establish talent management as a distinctive advantage, and secure the human resources function as a driver of business value. Emily has worked with companies across industries, leading initiatives to transform the way organizations work. She puts particular emphasis on helping to establish a talent-first approach, instilling a high-performance culture, and adopting effective people-analytics approaches. She is the co-author along with Bill Schaninger and Bryan Hancock of Power to the Middle: Why Managers Hold the Keys to the Future of Work*. As anybody who's worked in middle management can attest, it's one of the hardest jobs you'll ever have. Too often we take middle management for granted, but organizations that learn how to better support middle managers can leverage their power and expertise to do a lot of good. In this conversation, Emily and I highlight the challenges of middle management, the unique value the middle managers bring to organizations, and the steps senior leaders can take to better support middle managers. Key Points Middle managers often have less power and control than the people who report to them. This results in them not feeling like they are set up for success. The “player-coach” model of managers doing individual contributor work can be useful, but it's critical for organizations to be mindful that the work is uniquely suited for a manager to do. Rather than promoting the best middle managers out of their roles, promote from within. Reward top middle managers who decide to make their positions a destination, not just a waypoint. As technology and AI changed the nature of work, middle managers are uniquely qualified to know how to best rebundle jobs and redistribute talent. A key question for senior leadership to answer: What do we want middle managers to be doing?

Yet middle managers are critical to organizational health and performance, and they are only becoming more so as work continues to transform, according to the new book Power to the Middle: Why Managers Hold the Keys to the Future of Work (Harvard Business Review Press, July 2023).

Middle managers are meant to serve as a go-between for leadership teams and individual contributors. But in large organizations, with many layers of hierarchy, some of these roles feel like bureaucratic bloat, which, in tighter economic times, makes them a target for elimination. Emily Field, a partner at McKinsey & Company, thinks in many cases that's a mistake. She argues that most middle managers are critical to corporate performance and productivity, executive team insight, and employee well-being. The key is making sure their roles adapt to the times. Field is the coauthor, along with Bryan Hancock and Bill Schaninger, of the HBR article "Don't Eliminate Your Middle Managers," as well as the book Power to the Middle: Why Managers Hold the Keys to the Future of Work.

De acordo com uma nova pesquisa da McKinsey, cerca de 1/3 da força de trabalho brasileira considera deixar seus empregos nos próximos 3 a 6 meses. Os principais motivos são falta de oportunidades de desenvolvimento e remuneração inadequada. Os dados podem parecer surpreendentes em um contexto nacional, em que 65 milhões de pessoas estão fora da força de trabalho, a taxa de desemprego chega a 10% e 30% dos jovens estão sem emprego formal. Mas, o fato é que, desde a pandemia, as relações de trabalho nunca mais foram as mesmas. Após um primeiro momento desafiador, dois movimentos têm ganhado força. O primeiro é a grande evasão – onde as pessoas pedem demissão mesmo sem ter um segundo emprego em vista. Quando a demissão não é uma opção, muitos decidem pelo segundo movimento, chamado de desistência silenciosa, ou quiet quitting, que está ocorrendo principalmente entre os jovens e consiste em fazer apenas o mínimo necessário para manter sua função. Esses movimentos são mais fortes nos Estados Unidos e Europa, mas também chamam a atenção no Brasil. Para falar sobre como as empresas podem evoluir da evasão para a atração e discutir tendências, implicações e oportunidades, no próximo episódio do McKinsey Talks teremos conosco um dos maiores especialistas globais em gestão de pessoas, Bill Schaninger, sócio sênior da McKinsey na Filadélfia e um dos autores do estudo que virou referência sobre o tema. E, para tangibilizar as tendências globais considerando a realidade brasileira, também teremos conosco Fernanda Mayol, sócia da McKinsey no Rio de Janeiro, líder da Prática de Gestão de Pessoas no Brasil e uma das responsáveis por conduzir o estudo no Brasil.

Corporate attrition persists, but one way to lure employees back is to develop their knowledge, attributes, experiences—in short, their human capital. But how? What's best for the employee?

This episode is a solo episode, exploring the connection of Emotional Intelligence and Servant-Leadership.In this episode, we break down some popular misconceptions of emotional intelligence, move towards deeper understandings of the term, and explore how fostering greater emotional intelligence might allow us to more greatly fulfill the Best Test of Servant-Leadership.Robert Greenleaf's Best Test of Servant-Leadership asks: “Do those served grow as persons? Do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants? And what is the effect on the least privileged in society? Will they benefit, or at least not be further deprived?”I hope you leave today's episode with some additional characteristics of what servant-leadership might look like, and how those characteristics might be actualized out in the world and developed through fostering greater emotional intelligence.Further Reading:Emotional Intelligence by Daniel GolemanThe EQ Edge by Steven Stein and Howard BookLeadership Reckoning by Thomas Kolditz, Libby Gill, and Ryan BrownPracticing Servant Leadership, edited by Larry Spears and Michele Lawrence"What Makes A Leader?" by Daniel Goleman"Leadership That Gets Results" by Daniel Goleman"The Boss Factor" by Terra Allas and Bill Schaninger"What Matters More For Entrepreneurship Success?" by Jared Allen, Regan Stevenson, Ernest O'Boyle, Scott SeibertMan's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankladamgcoaching.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-gierlach/Twitter: https://twitter.com/adamgierlachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/adam.gierlach/

Jeff Schwartz believes we aren't going back to the way things were and we have the opportunity to set a new direction. Jeff is the co-author of Work Disrupted: Opportunity, Resilience, and Growth in the Accelerated Future of Work. Jeff shares with Kevin that to understand 21st-century careers, we need to be working with new maps. We have choices in what our future looks like, so how do we work with everything we have available (includes physical space and technology).

Change is the only constant in life (Heraclitus). If you don't see, are you paying attention? And if you aren't changing, well, that is something different. Stacy Henry is the author of Get Rooted! Growing People and Companies Through Change and joins Kevin to discuss change and values. We don't always get to choose the change (hello pandemic), yet we get to choose our actions and reactions. The way we respond is based on our values. Often, we hold on tight, even though we don't like the current state, because it is known. It requires us to think differently and move through the change.

Is it the journey, or is it the destination? The role of a leader is getting to the destination (sales, profits, product development). Walt Rakowich believes the most important part of leadership is the journey and what happens along the way. Walt is the author of TRANSFLUENCE: How to Lead with Transformative Influence in Today's Climates of Change. Walt and Kevin discuss transformative influence and Walt shares stories about his journey. There is a time and place for leaders to be vulnerable and acknowledge the details their team understands and works through daily. By overcoming fear and pride, we can empower our team and build trust. When leaders recognize they have a transformational influence on their team, they find opportunity, embrace challenges, and make their organizations and communities greater than ever. This episode is brought to you by… 13 Days to Remarkable Leadership, a free leadership video series based on Kevin's book, Remarkable Leadership.

How does your team show up for work? How do you show up? Gary Hamel believes people leave their gifts of creativity and daring at home because it is not encouraged. He joins Kevin to discuss why he thinks organizations have been incapacitated by their lack of humanity. Gary is the author of The Future of Management (2007) and his latest book, with Michele Zanini, Humanocracy: Creating Organizations as Amazing as the People Inside Them. He shares data about the increase in bureaucracy in organizations and the decline of productivity growth. In short, the old model is not working and organizations need to think about the human element. Further, people at all levels can make change where they are and building community is a good place to start.

Four-hundred years ago Francis Bacon presented the scientific method, where the workhorse is the experiment. Now is the time we move experimentation beyond an engineering process. We need to think about it as a corporate discipline. Kevin is joined by Stefan Thomke to discuss his latest book, Experimentation Works: The Surprising Power of Business Experiments. Leaders face uncertainty throughout their organizations. This includes the rollout of new products to customer satisfaction to marketing. They need to move past their prejudice, bias, and observations and test against reality for greater success. Stefan shares examples of large-scale experiments and why he thinks this should be mainstream in all businesses. In this episode, Stefan discusses 1. Business experimentation and examples. 2. Myths of experimentation. 3. Cause and effect. This episode is brought to you by... Unleashing Your Remarkable Potential, Kevin's free weekly e-newsletter.
