View from the middle

As I was finishing off a concept paper for my company's participation in one of a leading international conferences in our industry, I started to ponder that intricacy of power and political play in my own division/company. And I thought that, without divulging too many details, some of the challenges that I faced in my day-to-day job would make an excellent case study for those who were thinking of business education.

Taking a leaf of HBS' book, I think I'll also use this space to create my own case study - highlighting the many fitfalls that the middle management in my company made in interpreting the directions from the top management...

OK, so here's the obligatory disclaimer: I am no expert in business and it is not the intend of this blog to shame and blame anyone. But this will be a collection of thoughts of how I'd approach the many problems that are faced by middle management of my company.

I won't have all the answers to my company's problems but I sure intend to learn as much as possible from them!
