Outgrow Middle Management offers a unique blueprint that enables executives to expedite their rise to senior management while increasing their income and getting the most out of life.

The book provides a roadmap for scaling the corporate pinnacle much faster with better career/life harmony. The accelerated journey to top management is navigated primarily through two domains:

Inner Leadership:

Inner leadership is self-awareness, growth toward self-mastery, and cultivation of the right attitude toward other people. It is achieved through three steps:

  • Intention - performing with purpose leads to the outcomes we aim for
  • Expansiveness - expanding beyond expertise, education, or comfort zones
  • Effectiveness - making an impact and affecting the end result of processes
  • Outer Leadership:

    Outer leadership is the behavior that influences other people and includes the art of motivating people to progress toward results. Here in brief are the three strategies:

  • Dialogue - developing communication skills to excel in fierce conversations
  • Decision - getting commitments through collaborative decision making
  • Action - driving flawless execution of the committed decisions
  • While there are thousands of books on leadership, Outgrow Middle Management is counterintuitive to the common approach of improving management skills, increasing efficiency, and becoming a better manager or leader. Its main concept is "get out of there!" because middle management is a stressful place to be. Instead, executives can learn to do what commercial pilots do when they hit bumps flying through clouds-they soar above them.
