Middle Management Movement By Michelle Pascoe

Is Gen X the most overlooked leadership generation? In this episode, Michelle unpacks the powerful leadership insights from this month's conversations with Kimberly Malcolm, Karen Maher and Michael Kelly — and a surprising theme emerges: Gen X leaders are quietly shaping workplace culture, communication and the next generation of leaders. From psychological safety and respectful workplaces to calm communication under pressure, this episode explores how middle managers and senior leaders are bridging generational gaps while carrying the weight of the “club sandwich generation”. You’ll discover why leadership isn’t learned from theory — it’s built through experience, responsibility and trust. And why supporting middle management might be the most strategic leadership decision you make in 2026. If you care about culture, customer experience and building future-ready leaders, this one’s for you.
