It doesn't matter where you are in the org chart. Being a good leader is about prestige and respect, not dictatorial power.

With prestige comes attention to what you say and do, and ability to influence decisions.

If you feel like the middle manager is powerless, these are exactly the types of books to read. Other recommendations include High Output Management, Drive, How To Talk So Kids Will Listen (I'm serious), Turn the Ship Around, Out of the Crisis, and more.

Which Drive book are you talking about? who's the author? Those books you mentioned seems interesting, I'll check out. If you have more on topic that you think are also worth recommend, please let me know.

"Drive" is by Daniel Pink, and it's about what really motivates problem solvers/intelligence workers.
