What If Managing People Didn't Have To Be So Difficult?
Most managers ask us every-single-day... Why won't my employees just DO THEIR JOB? We get it. We understand. And we have the solution. It really is a formula and we teach managers exactly how to build and sustain highly engaged, motivated and accountable teams... every-single-day.
LEARN THE PRACTICES OF GREAT MANAGERS
We've all had at least one great manager so we know the difference they make to the performance of a team and an organization. How do they do it? What are their keys to success?
CLEAR EXPECTATIONS
Their team members know how to win and are celebrated regularly for doing great work! It's almost like they can read one another's minds.
ACCOUNTABILITY
Team members do their work and do it well. They rarely have to be reminded to hit their targets and meet their deadlines.
OWNERSHIP
Employees take responsibility for their productivity and behavior. They have each other's backs and work as a finely-tuned team.
We have absolutely figured out how to solve the challenges you're facing
Our simple, powerful Formula will be your partner for creating exceptional managers who can handle any performance challenge, drive excellence and no longer tolerate mediocre performance.
Why Our Formula Works
Speed.
You don't have the time or financial bandwidth to go sit for days in a training. You need speed of delivery and support so you can rapidly improve performance. Our tools and practices are easy to learn and apply. You can begin new practices the moment they enroll.
Capacity.
Leaders today are totally slammed. Your boss knows your skill at holding employees accountable is the scaffolding for success of the business. They need help in carrying out the vision of the organization. We will ensure you know exactly how to lead and manage your teams so the business meets its goals and thrives.
Solutions.
Too much fixing, not enough solving. So many managers lack the skills you need to truly change performance of others, and you spend your days fixing. You're burning out. And you're not gaining confidence that you can achieve long-term success. Our program teaches you how to solve and then sustain long term results. Immediately.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
During the 8 weeks, you will learn the leadership framework that provides the tools to solving the issues you face as the manager of your team.
MANAGER'S MIND & PERFORMANCE
The first of the three primary questions The Manager Formula intends to answer: Who are YOU as a leader? Before you can lead anyone else, you have to be able to consciously lead yourself.
HIRING & BUILDING A TEAM
The key to getting the results you want from a role you must fill is finding the right person. We'll cover a process for hiring the right fit for the position so that your investment in training time is worth it.
ACCOUNTABILITY & FIRING
Accountability is your tool to engage, motivate, encourage and teach your employees. It is a positive part of the coaching process, not a cautionary part of progressive discipline. However, when employees don't meet expectations, firing is necessary task.
GIVING FEEDBACK
Feedback is about creating an opportunity to help someone see something they haven’t seen before and then resolve it (if they choose to).
HOW TO COACH YOUR TEAM
Coaching helps leaders diagnose, know and understand each element of performance and the impact of only focusing on WHAT needs to be achieved, rather than also evaluating HOW and WHY.
MANAGING DIFFICULT PEOPLE
It's no surprise that you will always have a difficult employee.This module is all about you becoming a ninja at managing difficult people and having difficult conversations.
LEADING THROUGH CHANGE
Change is constant - big or small. Regardless of the scope, how our employees respond to change can dramatically impact their productivity and overall organizational performance.
MANAGING UP
Use the skills you have as an excellent employee and manager to create exceptional value for your boss.
No More Average or Mediocre
This experience is not for by-standers and watchers. This program is for organizations and their managers who WANT to become exceptional...who actively CHOOSE to do the work of becoming game-changing, life-changing and career-elevating leaders.
Create High Performing Players & Teams
The most basic function of the management role is to ensure excellence of the team. There are very real reasons why some teams succeed and some teams fail. Performance is formulaic. Managers who understand the mechanics of performance, can drive exceptional results. Managers in The Formula learn the key elements to build, fix and sustain high performing individuals and teams.
Model & Drive Accountability Culture
Companies hire employees to perform work so the company can deliver on its purpose. Accountability, both positive and constructive, is an essential practice to ensure the organization thrives. Most people want to win and they want to know how to do so. Our managers learn how to 'account' for their employees' abilities. Consistently, graciously and powerfully.
Solve Problems & Lead Others Through Change
Nothing is static. Everything is moving. Faster than ever. Managers must be adept at handling the multitude of daily changes and problems we all experience. In The Formula we teach our managers key practices and approaches for the smallest and biggest of problems and organizational changes. Our managers are prepared and resilient.
Managerial Maturity & Confidence
Today more than ever, we need leaders to be able to handle the challenges of difficult people, situations and conversations. Organizations need individuals who can push through what's difficult, determine and focus on desired outcomes and take the steps to make-it-happen. Our managers learn how to understand themselves, their impact, and how to embrace self-awareness as a superpower for their own and their team's success.

"As corporate HR Manager, I often feel that the solid framework (or 'core') of helping my managers lead their people had eluded me. It’s like, even though I’m trained and completely qualified, something was always missing for me when it came to understanding the motivators behind other peoples’ negative actions (or non-action). Now I know - it was this program that was missing! Gosh - where have you been all my life?!"
Lisa Dowling
Human Resources Manager and Consultant

You must have the 'taste for success'.
That's what we do here at The Manager Formula. Not succeeding is simply not an option.
Leaders who work with us choose to be successful. Even when it's hard.
We choose to work with others who want the same for themselves, their team and their organization.
