“As goes the leadership, so goes the team. Leadership sets the tone for the entire team. The success or failure of an organization happens at the middle management level. It’s not the CEOs nor the frontline employees—it’s the 'mushy middle' in between, whom we rarely train to become great leaders. They will either elevate or stifle an entire organization, affecting everything from stock performance to human potential, talent retention, and beyond.” - Karen Mangia
