Examining leaders’ ability to drive the innovation that today’s organizations so desperately need.

When it comes to skills required for success, their level of engagement and loyalty, and their plans for the future, how similar or different are middle managers in South East Asia compared to their global counterparts? DDI conducted a global survey of 2,000 mid-level managers and nearly a third of the leaders surveyed were from Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.

Are mid-level leaders getting the development they need to face today’s unparalleled challenges? Do organizations effectively support leaders’ transition into crucial mid-level roles? And, are they selecting those most likely to succeed in the first place? This collection of contemporary research says: not always.
