Charity middle managers feel more stressed and less appreciated than any other charity
staff according to the Charity Pulse staff satisfaction survey published by Birdsong
Charity Consulting and Third Sector.
In response to these findings, which revealed
that only 58 per cent of middle managers felt appreciated, Birdsong has launched
the Middle Management Forum, starting in September.

The Forum will meet for half a day, five times a year in London with a maximum of
12 participants. It will be run by Birdsong co-founder Sam Attenborough and provide
ongoing support and development opportunities for middle managers and will cover
topics such as developing your own authority, building effective teams, managing
in busy and stressful situations, and managing your boss.
