Summary

Week 7 — The Thinning Pipeline Problem: Middle management has been stripped.

The talent development engine has stalled. This week examines what that means for senior leaders navigating authority, decisions, and leverage in a thinner organization.


Middle management didn't just manage people — it processed decisions. When that layer shrinks, decisions migrate upward. The risk isn't volume; it's the quality cost of senior attention consumed by choices that shouldn't require it. This episode examines the two failure modes of decision migration and the structural work — building decision rights — that a thinning organization actually demands.
