书籍简介

如果您想在新的工作环境中裁减中层管理人员，请再三考虑。

"中层经理"。这个词让人联想到过去的工业时代，在那个时代，管理人员就像庞大的官僚机器中的齿轮。近几十年来，中层管理者成了 "砧板上的鱼肉"--不被重视，往往被认为是组织中多余的一层。

这种过时的观点不仅需要改变，而且未来也需要改变。在《中间力量：为什么管理者掌握着未来工作的钥匙》一书中，麦肯锡思想领导Bill Schaninger、Bryan Hancock和Emily Field呼吁对经理人及其角色进行深刻的重新认识。他们解释了中层管理者的独特定位，即贴近实际，但又与公司战略有着至关重要的联系，使他们能够在快速而复杂的变革时期指导组织，并帮助塑造新的工作世界。

作者以令人信服的方式阐述了工作场所的这一深刻变化，并展示了如何做到以下几点：

●管理者是赢得人才争夺战的关键，这需要强大的人员技能来吸引和留住优秀的人才。

●管理者必须从单纯执行规则转变为挑战规则，成为无效规则或过时规则的重要补充。

●重要的是，优秀的管理者绝不能被提拔。相反，他们的头衔和报酬应该反映出他们的高价值，并允许他们在自己的岗位上晋升。

通过丰富的故事和前沿的研究，《中间力量：为什么管理者掌握着未来工作的钥匙》为企业从根本上改变中层管理者--他们宝贵的资产--的聘用、培训和奖励方式提供了一种新的模式。

If you're thinking of cutting your midlevel managers in the new world of work, think again.

"Middle manager." The term evokes a bygone industrial era in which managers functioned like cogs in a vast bureaucratic machine. In recent decades, midlevel managers became a favorite target for the chopping block—underappreciated, often considered a superfluous layer of the organization.

Not only does this outdated perspective need to change, but the future demands it. In Power to the Middle, McKinsey thought leaders Bill Schaninger, Bryan Hancock, and Emily Field call for a profound reimagining of managers and their roles. They explain how middle managers are uniquely positioned close to the ground but with a crucial connection to company strategy, enabling them to guide their organizations through periods of rapid and complex change, as well as to help shape the new world of work.

The authors compellingly illustrate this deep shift in the workplace, showing how:

·Managers are the key to winning the war for talent, which requires strong people skills to attract and retain the best talent.

·Managers must shift from merely enforcing rules to challenging them, serving as critical stopgaps for rules that are ineffective or obsolete.

·Crucially, good managers must not be promoted out of their jobs. Instead, their title and compensation should reflect their high value and allow them to advance within their roles.

With rich stories and cutting-edge research, Power to the Middle offers a new model for companies to radically alter the way they hire, train, and reward their midlevel managers—their most valuable asset.
