New Manager Fundamentals

Move from technical expert to great leader.

You've promoted engineers. We'll equip them to lead.

Promoting engineers into management is the right thing to do, but it can be a steep and costly learning curve.

Our 3-month program accelerates that learning curve by helping engineers develop the skills they need to be successful in their first management role.

Note: This program has the greatest impact when peer managers learn together. For companies enrolling more than one participant, we customize the schedule to allow for shared educational sessions in addition to 1:1 coaching

b) We help your managers-1

"Dain has excellent insight into the changing landscape of leadership. These insights are thoroughly backed by what is clearly extensive reading of primary sources, sources that he has at the ready to help enlighten others. I learned a lot about myself and a lot about what it means to be a leader. I can't recommend more highly."
