Managing Well™

About the Engagement

Effective people management requires more than good intentions—it requires the skills, self-awareness, and sustained practice to turn those intentions into meaningful impact.

Managing Well™ helps people managers do right by their teams by building the skills to balance accountability, productivity, and remaining empathic. Managers learn to close the gap between their intentions and their actual impact, and the people on their teams notice the difference.

Research shows that 9 months is the minimum time required for behavior change to become observable and measurable to the people around a manager. Our Managing Well™ programming is a sustained engagement that produces measurable behavior change over time.

Who it’s for

Organizations with 50 or more employees who want measurable culture change and are ready to invest in their managers and leaders over time.

Focus areas

Managing Well programming draws from four areas of focus. Engagements are customized based on the organization’s needs.

• Feedback and Trust Intensive: building skill and confidence in giving, receiving, and acting on feedback.
• Mental Health at Work, Managers’ Responsibilities: clarity on the manager’s role in recognizing and responding to mental health concerns from their team.
• Belonging and Culture Reset: rebuilding trust, connection, and psychological safety within teams.
• Managing Well Accelerator: for managers under sustained pressure, navigating change, exhaustion, or uncertainty.

How we measure change

Success is measured from the perspective of the people managers lead, not just the managers themselves. Every Managing Well™ engagement includes a pre- and post-assessment that captures what direct reports observe about their manager’s leadership, openness to feedback, consistency, ability to empathize, and accountability to individuals and the team.

At the end of a Managing Well™ engagement, direct reports describe their managers as someone who holds the team accountable while remaining connected and open to different perspectives.
