Huy (2011)In a three-year case at a large tech firm, executives treating strategy as a purely task-focused job unintentionally stirred middle managers' group identities around tenure and language; the resulting emotions saw managers, even ones executives promoted, back or quietly brush off an initiative.Ahearne et al. (2014)Middle managers' influence on those above them related to unit performance along a curve rather than a straight line, and it paid off more for managers with a strong reputation in their networks.Kellogg (2009)In two hospitals answering new regulation, top managers backed new programs, but using them could require junior staff to challenge middle managers with opposing interests; change hinged on spaces where reform-minded middle managers and staff could band together.Currie et al. (2015)In hospital care for older people, nurse middle managers could pass knowledge down to fellow nurses but struggled to pass it up the hierarchy or across to doctors; without HR support, the authors warn, a 'broken' rather than 'broker' chain may result.
