Supervisors are stuck.
We surveyed a group of senior business leaders in banking and insurance at Fortune 500 companies in order to learn about the key challenges their supervisors and employees face and how they plan to address those challenges.
Frontline teams are stuck in the “messy middle” – feeling the pressure to achieve ever-higher performance metrics while adapting to several seismic shifts.
In this white paper, we take a closer look at:
- What top challenges supervisors face in the new world of work.
- How to help supervisors identify and overcome their own personal blockers so that team performance takes off.

I feel very distant from my teams. I don’t know what’s happening in their lives, even though I try to fly out to see each center quarterly. I know it’s not just me. My supervisors routinely surface that they feel disconnected from their people.
