Scott Mautz

Scott Mautz is an American author, speaker and leadership expert who specialises in helping middle managers become more effective leaders. His book Leading from the Middle provides practical strategies for the unique challenges faced by leaders who occupy the space between senior executives and frontline employees. Mautz draws on his own experience in corporate leadership, including a long career at Procter and Gamble where he ran several multi-billion dollar businesses, to offer advice that is grounded in real-world experience rather than abstract theory. His approach recognises that middle management is one of the most challenging positions in any organisation, requiring the ability to influence both upward and downward while managing competing demands and limited formal authority. Mautz has written several books on leadership and has been recognised as a top leadership thinker. His writing is direct, practical and focused on actionable strategies that readers can implement immediately. The audiobook edition brings his practical leadership guidance to listeners who are navigating the specific challenges of leading from the middle of organisational hierarchies.
