They have a manager development problem.

  • Turn reactive managers into proactive leaders

  • Strengthen accountability without micromanagement

  • Help leaders get out of the weeds — permanently

Why smart managers stall growth.

Your managers are smart. They work hard. They care.

But they still:

  • Wait for direction instead of making decisions

  • Escalate people issues instead of resolving them

  • Manage tasks instead of leading people

  • Depend on you to think through problems

That’s why:

  • You’re still pulled into day-to-day issues

  • EOS stalls at “good, not great”

  • Accountability feels forced instead of natural

You don’t need more tools.
You need managers who think like leaders.

What happens when managers lead?

They bring solutions, not problems

They lead with clarity, confidence & consistency

They own outcomes

They develop people instead of fixing them

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Take a look at our FAQs.

Is this right for our managers?

  • This is ideal for frontline supervisors and mid-level managers who lead people, but still rely on senior leadership to solve problems, handle conflict, or drive accountability. If a manager has direct reports and is expected to Lead, Manage, and hold people Accountable (LMA®), this system fits.

  • That’s common—and it works. The system focuses on core leadership behaviors (mindset, accountability, ownership) that apply at every level. More experienced managers deepen consistency; newer managers build confidence fast. Each manager applies the tools to their own real-world situations.

Time, effort, capcacity

  • No. This is a done for you system.

    • No additional meetings

    • No prep work

    • No facilitation

  • On average, 60–90 minutes per week. That includes live sessions and applying the tools during conversations managers are already having. This is designed to replace ineffective leadership time—not add more meetings.

  • No. It helps them hit their Rocks more consistently by reducing rework, escalation, and people issues. Managers learn how to solve problems at the right level instead of pushing them up.

  • Sessions are structured so managers can get back on track quickly. The focus is on applied behavior, not attendance perfection. Missed learning is reinforced through practice and tools, not lectures.

Results & behavior change.

  • Because managers practice leadership skills on real issues with real people during the program. This isn’t theory or self-study. Coaching conversations, accountability discussions, and decision-making happen while the program is running. We also do a pre and post skills assessment.

  • Typically:

    • Fewer escalations to leadership

    • Better one-on-ones

    • Clearer ownership of issues

    • Managers bringing solutions instead of problems

    Those show up within the first 30–45 days.

  • You’ll see changes in meeting effectiveness, accountability, and reduced leadership intervention. Many Integrators report fewer “drive-by questions” and better preparation from managers in Level 10s®.

    A comprehensive report showing progress over the 90 days will be shared with you.

Dr Mike AI Coach®

  • Dr Mike AI Coach gives managers in-the-moment guidance on real leadership and coaching conversations—before, during, or after they happen. It helps them think through what to say and how to say it.

  • No. It supports it. Think of it as a leadership safety net—especially helpful between sessions or when managers are dealing with something sensitive and don’t want to guess.

  • Yes. The tool is designed for leadership development support, not data mining. Company-specific information is not shared externally.

Comparison to other training?

  • Yes—and here’s why.
    One-day workshops create awareness. This system creates behavior change.

    Workshops happen outside the flow of work and rely on memory and motivation. The Manager Development System runs alongside real work for 90 days, with repeated practice, feedback, and application. That’s why results stick.

  • Managers learn alongside peers from other companies and industries. This exposes them to proven leadership best practices beyond their own environment and gives them fresh perspectives they can apply immediately—without sharing sensitive company information.

EOS®Alignment

  • Yes. While you don’t have to run EOS®, the program is intentionally aligned with EOS tools like LMA®, Level 10s®, Rocks®, and Scorecards. Managers aren’t asked to “translate” concepts—it reinforces how EOS is supposed to work in practice. See this document for EOS alignment.

  • The system strengthens all three:

    • Lead: Managers learn how to coach and influence, not just direct

    • Manage: Clear expectations and follow-through

    • Accountable: Managers hold people accountable without avoiding or escalating

    This is the missing execution layer for many EOS teams.

  • Yes. Managers learn how to lead conversations, surface real issues, and drive ownership—skills that directly improve both.

Leadership Accelerator

  • The Accelerator is for managers who want faster clarity and confidence—especially those dealing with tougher people situations or new leadership responsibilities. It provides individualized feedback and guidance.

  • No. It’s optional. The core system stands on its own. The Accelerator simply helps some managers apply the system faster and more precisely.

Logistics

  • Yes. You can adjust the number of managers at check-out.

  • Cohorts start on scheduled dates throughout the year. You’ll see the next available start date at enrollment.

  • Support managers in applying what they’re learning and resist the urge to step back into problem-solving. That’s often the biggest—and best—shift.

    If you purchase Leadership Accelerator, Senior Leaders will have access to the Active Coach Playbook to fully support managers with structured coaching.

  • Managers leave with tools, habits, and a shared leadership language. Many companies choose to continue development through ongoing programs or expand to more managers.

This system is designed for real managers in real companies—not ideal conditions.
If your goal is fewer fires, stronger accountability, and managers who think like leaders, this is built for you.
