How do you develop your mid-managers? As companies grow, the gap tends to be in the middle management and, as they are so busy working, they rarely get the development time, resources and attention needed for the growth that is required to develop talent from within. As a result, we end up having to hire many external team members to strengthen the team - more than many companies would like. And the existing team gets stagnant. In the end, every team ends up with its own university. An internal learning centre to help people grow. But what do you do until you get to 1,000+ employees when that happens? In this episode, Brad and Kevin talk about the seven important things you can do to develop your mid-managers.       ----- * Do you love The Growth Whisperers and want to see our smiling faces?
