In every organization there is a certain hierarchy, which most often consists of the highest, middle and lowest management level. Middle management includes all positions between higher and lower levels and serves as a link between the two levels. Middle management contributes to organization's success by successfully transferring information from higher to lower management levels and vice versa. The objectives of this paper are to explain the position of middle management, its role, complexity and contribution. In addition, the skills that a successful middle manager must possess are also presented and how these skills can be improved, and finally, it is shown how the lowering of management hierarchies affects middle managers. Based on the results of the empirical research, the complexity of the middle management position is obvious, and the obtained data coincide with previous research. Through this research, information was obtained on how middle managers contribute to the company, motivate and train their employees, and how they are educated. The results indicate that the lowering of management hierarchies puts pressure on the company, but also on middlelevel managers, because they play an important role in the efficient functioning of the organization. The results of this research are important for every company, especially larger organizations, in order to understand the role and importance of middle management, and to see that by educating them, they create more competent managers and invest in their future.
