Confronting Middlers Training
Middlers are under achievers and cost organisations millions. Middlers are fantastic at stringing along tasks. No matter what the task is they are always in the middle of it. Deadlines are seldom met and it is always someone else’s fault.
Description
Plan of action
Middlers often conceal themselves within an organisation and pay extra attention to process and are not always results orientated. Middlers often operate beneath the radar as their performance is neither exceptional nor poor. Middlers always underachieve and are at the opposite end of the continuum to action orientated people.
