Abstract
To successfully achieve DEI change, organizational leaders must understand the implementation challenges faced by middle managers and incorporate their specific needs into policy development. The authors identify two key tensions faced by middle managers — the autonomy vs. control tension, and the short-term vs. long-term tension — and offer strategies for leaders to help middle managers navigate them.
