Humanly - Manager 101: Caught in the Middle

Caught in the Middle is a practical guide for managers navigating the everyday tension between team expectations and business demands.

From unrealistic targets and changing priorities to difficult feedback, burnout, promotions, conflict and conversations with senior leadership, this book looks at the situations managers actually face at work.

Each chapter takes one real workplace scenario and breaks it down simply: what usually goes wrong, what to understand first, what you can say, and what to reflect on before taking action.

This is not a book about becoming the perfect manager.

It is a guide to having clearer conversations, making better judgement calls and navigating the moments when there is no perfect answer.
