Middle Management Series Fills Leadership Development Need
Recognizing the need for leadership development at all levels, the Builders Exchange is continuing a program designed to meet the needs of a specific group of industry leaders.
This year, the four-part series, Managing from the Middle, included 20 participants from a variety of industry firms. The Class of 2025 completed the program last month.
These mid-level leaders, representing both field and office leadership roles, explored the key attributes of middle management MUSCLES:
Motivation Understanding Strategy Communication Leadership Empathy Success
Each session allows participants to explore the leadership concepts that comprise the acronym through lecture, role play and classroom discussions. Plans for the next Managing from the Middle Series are underway. Check the BX Course Catalog this summer for updates regarding the Class of 2026.
