Middle Managers Are Jargon Translators
from CEO Daily Brief with Dr. Jessica Kriegel · host tentwentytwo / Culture Partners
In today’s episode: A new study shows many frontline employees find middle managers to provide a crucial role--translating the jargon from the executive team. There's a clear correlation between "management that effectively communicates" and the sense that the company cares for employees. Leaders often think that employees just want a secure job, but employees want to feel seen and like they're doing something meaningful. CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we dissect the week's biggest news, unpack hot-button workplace trends, and bring you exclusive interviews with leaders who leverage culture to drive real business results. John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura, joins Jessica every week to discuss the latest news in labor, employment, and workplace culture by asking each other the question: 'What Are You Paying Attention To Now?'
