Your Best Employees Don't Need Better Titles... They Need Better Leadership Development Featuring Shruti Rustagi
Description
Are we investing enough in the people who keep organizations moving?
Middle managers are often expected to execute strategy, lead teams, navigate change, and adapt to new technologies—all while receiving the least amount of coaching and development.
In this episode of Pull the Chute, leadership coach Shruti Rustagi shares why developing middle managers is one of the smartest investments an organization can make.
đź’ˇ Key takeaways:
• Leadership development should extend beyond the C-suite.
• AI isn't replacing leaders—it rewards those who continue learning and adapting.
• Emotional intelligence, executive communication, and influence are becoming essential leadership skills.
• Organizations that invest in their people build stronger cultures and retain top talent.
One quote that stood out:
"When the winds of change blow, some build windows. Others build windmills."
The question is… what are you building?
