As a mid-level leader, one often finds oneself surrounded with huge accountability and less freedom to take decisions or work independently. Reasons are manifold, like not having a clear and complete view of the top-level strategy, fast growth to mid-level without much personal development as a leader. Quick growth without understanding the business complexity. New recruits at Mid-level as employees move out for other opportunities. Empowering requires strong trust and senior leaders grapple to develop the same and many such reasons.

However, being in a situation of accountability with less or no power adds to the complexity of the problem. Business leaders wish to empower mid-level leaders, but how to empower for accelerating growth is often that they struggle with.
