Inside The Messy Middle - The Weight of the Middle Feels Heavier Than the Authority
Monday, 20 April, 2026
Inside the Messy Middle is a special series from The Inner Game of ChangeThis fortnightly short series is for people who carry responsibility inside complexity.Between strategy and delivery. Between intent and impact. Between what was imagined and what must now be made real.These episodes are not about tools or frameworks. They are reflections on judgement, dignity, and the human cost of change as it is actually lived.The Weight of the Middle Feels Heavier Than the Authority.This episode explores a reality many middle managers and change makers quietly carry.Seeing what needs to change. Feeling responsible for making it work. But not always having the authority to fully shape it.Drawing on history, from Roman centurions to naval captains, and modern organisations like Toyota, this episode reflects on a pattern that has always existed.Responsibility does not always come with full control.And in the messy middle, leadership is often less about authority… and more about judgement.Send us Fan MailAli Juma @The Inner Game of Change podcastFollow me on LinkedIn
