Leadership Series for Middle Managers Returns in 2027

 

BX leadership development programs provide opportunities for industry professionals at all levels from the field to the C-suite. To meet the needs of those in middle management roles, Managing from the Middle is returning with a four-session program in 2027!

Mid-level leaders are the key to a company’s leadership pipeline, making personal growth and development crucial for their continued success. In this program, participants will explore the key attributes of middle management MUSCLES:

The series allows for exploration of each of the middle management concepts that comprise the MUSCLES acronym. Upon completion, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the attributes of the MUSCLES method for Middle Managers
  • Identify the "exercises" needed to build their own strength
  • Build upon each session to extend their MUSCLES for the future
  • Develop tools for personal growth and development
  • Create a leadership path for next step managers

Supporting People, Strengthening Organizations

 

Safety and HR professionals are essential to creating safe, healthy and productive workplaces. In many organizations, these responsibilities may even be combined into a single role. Working with limited resources and significant expectations, these leaders must balance regulatory compliance, employee well-being and operational priorities.   

This session of the BX Blueprints for Well-being Council examines the common challenges faced by safety and HR professionals and explores strategies for building trust, shaping workplace culture and leading effectively in today’s complex organizational environments. Topics include:

  • How perception and culture can create barriers to effectiveness and support 
  • Ways safety and HR can better collaborate and reinforce one another 
  • Strategies for building connection, relatability and trust across teams 
  • Practical approaches to self-care, peer support and sustainable leadership

Join us for this important conversation as we focus on strengthening the people behind the policies and work toward building a culture that thrives.

For more information about this workshop or the BX Blueprints for Well-being Council, contact Ashton Chapman.
