Middle Manager
Middle managers tend to operate on a tactical level and for this reason, you need a questionnaire with items and statements that reflect this. A questionnaire designed for senior managers or executives is likely to contain strategic activities and may make completion awkward for both reviewer and reviewee.
We see that a middle manager:
- Has clearly defined limits on their freedom to act or take decisions, and will be expected to report regularly on their performance to a senior manager
- Is likely to be a technical specialist in a role which is primarily focused on managing the work and performance of others
- Is responsible for establishing, maintaining and improving systems and processes to agreed quality standards and efficiency levels
- Is accountable for the performance of a team who they manage directly or indirectly through first line managers or team leaders
- Is a budget holder responsible for allocating resources within defined boundaries
- Is responsible for recruiting, developing, promoting and disciplining team members
- Negotiates terms directly with internal and external customers and suppliers within prescribed boundaries
- Undertakes change project management which is sponsored or approved by a more senior manager
