Strategic Alignment

Middle managers can be effectively involved in strategic planning in other ways. In a process known as strategic alignment, senior management develops the overview and then middle managers develop objectives for their departments that support this overarching strategy. Middle managers are more engaged in executing the plan when they understand their connection to the organization and its vision. In creating and building a business, the entrepreneur assumes all the responsibilities for development and management.

A middle manager is someone who is in a leadership position and also reports to top management. They manage their team’s career progression, communicate decisions from upper management, and adjust workflows, processes, and priorities to align with overall business objectives.
