<p><b>Praise for LEADING FROM THE MIDDLE</b></p> <p>“Too many leadership books are great on theory, light on applicability. Mautz nails the unmet need of helping middle managers with insightful, specific advice.”<br /><b> —Daniel H. Pink,</b> <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>WHEN, DRIVE</i>, and <i>To Sell is Human</i></p> <p>“The ultimate guide for middle managers to create the most value for their companies and increase engagement and productivity from their teams. A must-read!”<br /><b> —Marshall Goldsmith,</b> two-time #1 Leadership Thinker in the world and the <i>New York Times</i> #1 bestselling author of <i>Triggers, Mojo</i>, and <i>What Got You Here Won’t Get You There</i></p> <p>“Influencing others is hard. For middle managers—who must lead up, down, and across—it’s harder. Scott Mautz has created an insightful book filled with specific advice that will help managers right away.”<br /><b> —Dorie Clark,</b> author of <i>Reinventing You</i> and executive education faculty, Duke University Fuqua School of Business</p> <p>“Scott Mautz has led from every level of the organization, and knows exactly how to make your influence felt, regardless of your role. <i>Leading from the Middle</i> is a practical playbook from someone who has been there and done it.”<br /><b> —Todd Henry,</b> author of <i>The Motivation Code</i></p> <p>“Middle managers have been unappreciated for too long. This book is a manifesto for their power and a manual for their growth.”<br /><b> —David Burkus,</b> author of <i>Under New Management</i></p> <p>“If you’re not at the top (yet) but no longer at the bottom, congratulations, you’re in middle management! You need a leadership book written for the only people in the organization who honestly have to manage 360 degrees—up, down, and sideways. This is that book.”<br /><b> —Paul Smith,</b> bestselling author of <i>The 10 Stories Great Leaders Tell</i></p> <p>“Scott Mautz’s wonderfully written book embraces the messiness of leading from the middle, offering a powerful model for anyone who has a boss and is a boss. The wealth of insights and actionable steps will help these leaders balance the needs of those above, below, and across them to drive their influence and success. A must-read for mid-level leaders looking to refine their leadership craft.”<br /><b> —Tanveer Naseer, MSc,</b> Inc. 100 leadership speaker, award-winning leadership writer, leadership podcast host, and author of <i>Leadership Vertigo</i></p>
