Wayne Turmel has a well known podcast show with the interesting title, “The Cranky Middle Manager.” In my experience, middle managers today are very stressed and “cranky” is a mild adjective for their current state of mental health. Wayne is a great interviewer and mixes humor with insight and useful content.
My interview with Wayne just came out. It covers a lot of what I’ve talked about in this blog in about 20 minutes. Check it out Cranky Middle Manager Podcast and pass it on to some of your own middle management friends.

David, thank you for being such a gracious and insightful guest. While we strive to keep the tone light on the show, this is a topic middle managers are all too unprepared to deal with, and wwe were delighted you could share some of your wisdom. Don’t let the weasels get you down!
Wayne, I listened to the Podcast last week. You ask great questions – thanks for doing it!
