Senior executives are absorbing more direct reports, juggling additional operational tasks, and losing critical time for strategic focus.

The article from Fortune discusses the increasing pressure on executives due to the diminishing role of middle management, a phenomenon referred to as the "vanishing middle."

This shift has led to executives feeling overwhelmed and struggling to maintain strategic focus amidst the daily operational demands. The article highlights that this trend not only affects executive performance but also impacts overall organizational health, as the loss of middle managers can lead to decreased employee engagement and development. To mitigate these issues, some companies are rethinking their approach to middle management, recognizing the need for these roles to foster communication, support, and growth within the organization.
