Training Middle Managers

The Training Design Podcast

Today Sheridan chats with Annette Cairns of Green Shed Talent Development, a VIP Member of Training Designers Club.

In this conversation they discuss how the middle management and more importantly the training of the middle management is sometimes forgotten or not seen as important as other training, despite being an integral part of the company.

Annette explains the options of having a pick and mix style middle management programme, as it is crucial to understand and deliver the correct training.

An example of this that Annette chats to Sheridan about is open questions. The majority of middle managers will understand what an open question is but when they are put in a situation where they are asked to use them, it sometimes becomes clear that although they know what they are, they may not use them as often as they should.

This is a very thought provoking conversation on the training that middle managers have before they become managers and then the training that they do or don’t get at middle management and how this translates into how well they do their job.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on this if you’re a middle manager and if you agree or not?
