Summary:

Outgrow Middle Management offers a unique blueprint that enables executives to expedite their rise to senior management while increasing their income and getting the most out of life. The book provides a roadmap for scaling the corporate pinnacle much faster with better career/life harmony. The accelerated journey to top management is navigated primarily through two domains: Inner Leadership: Inner leadership is self-awareness, growth toward self-mastery, and cultivation of the right attitude toward other people. It is achieved through three steps: * Intention - performing with purpose leads to the outcomes we aim for * Expansiveness - expanding beyond expertise, education, or comfort zones * Effectiveness - making an impact and affecting the end result of processes Outer Leadership: Outer leadership is the behavior that influences other people and includes the art of motivating people to progress toward results. Here in brief are the three strategies: * Dialogue - developing communication skills to excel in fierce conversations * Decision - getting commitments through collaborative decision making * Action - driving flawless execution of the committed decisions While there are thousands of books on leadership, Outgrow Middle Management is counterintuitive to the common approach of improving management skills, increasing efficiency, and becoming a better manager or leader. Its main concept is "get out of there!" because middle management is a stressful place to be. Instead, executives can learn to do what commercial pilots do when they hit bumps flying through clouds-they soar above them.
