Manage episode 463594131 series 3619404
This episode explores the often overlooked challenges faced by middle managers when it comes to driving diversity, equity and inclusion (EDI) initiatives in the workplace.
I'm Joined by Solène Anglaret, a seasoned leader and EDI professional, we dive into the immense pressures and competing priorities that middle managers juggle on a daily basis.
Rather than taking an accusatory stance, we approach this topic with compassion - acknowledging the realities of being a manager responsible for hitting targets, supporting a team, and implementing organizational changes, all while trying to advance EDI.
Solène shares her own experiences and insights on how to empower and enable middle managers to integrate EDI practices into their existing workflows, rather than viewing it as an additional burden.
We discuss strategies for managers to delegate and empower their teams, cultivate self-awareness, and find ways to grow and develop their own leadership skills - all while maintaining empathy for the unique challenges of their role.
This conversation offers a different perspective on supporting the often-overlooked middle management tier and creating a more holistic, compassionate approach to driving meaningful change.
