What is a middle manager? How does social work theory help people thrive in these positions?  How can social work theory be used to help someone leverage the capacity and nuances of these roles throughout different organizations? This workshop will explore a variety of definitions of ‘middle management’, different power/hierarchical structures in organizations, and how social work theory best prepares folks to navigate this unique leadership role. Another component of this workshop will be exploring case studies and having time to reflect on how middle managers should handle different scenarios. The middle manager is an underestimated role in organizations, navigating a little bit of everything, and clinical and macro social workers have the skills to thrive in this role. 

This session has been approved for 2 CEUs for Social Work.
