Managers today are being asked to carry far more than tasks.
They’re carrying people, pressure, and decisions they didn’t make.

If we want better execution and real retention, we have to stop pretending emotional labor is free.

This is the leadership conversation most organizations are avoiding.

Your Engagement Survey Was Clear. Your Response Wasn’t.”

If you can, surprise your team today. Let them out early. Pay them for the rest of the day. That goodwill lasts longer than the holiday.

Mid-level managers are carrying more weight than ever.
