Modular program | Design + optional cohort delivery

Leadership & Manager Accelerator

Teams completing this accelerator increase Manager OS adoption by 30–50% within 60–90 days.

Go‑live ~45 days • Weekly MOA% cohort curves • 30/60‑day adoption reviews

The Leadership & Manager Accelerator is a modular, time-boxed program that installs a consistent Manager Operating System, weekly huddles, 1:1s, goals, and recognition, backed by adoption instrumentation. In ~6–10 weeks, we target MOA% +30–50%, decision latency reductions in pilot teams, and visible behavior change through weekly cohort curves and 30/60-day reviews.

This Solves (What You Actually Feel Day-to-Day)

  • Decisions bounce between leaders or stall because managers aren't clear on ownership
     

  • Managers reinvent onboarding, performance, and feedback instead of running a consistent system
     

  • Team priorities collide because there’s no shared operating rhythm
     

  • Meetings create motion without movement — and execution depends on you stepping in

The Accelerator replaces this inconsistency with a proven Manager Operating System, clear rhythm, measurable adoption (MOA %), and leadership behaviors that scale across teams without adding headcount.

Best suited for:

SaaS/Tech and Professional Services

150–400 FTE, manager layer 0→1 or 1→2

Triggers:

  • New COO/CPO ≤90 days
     

  • Missed targets tied to coaching/consistency gaps
     

  • Team leads struggling with 1:1s/goals

Outcomes

We measure success on three signals:

DLI, MOA%, and EAV.

Decision Latency (DLI)

Time from decision need → decision made

Reduce by:

20% -40% in 60–90 days

Manager Operating System Adoption (MOA%)

% managers consistently running the weekly rhythm

Increase by:

+30–50% in 60–90 days

Employee Experience Action Velocity (EAV)

% actions closed within 30 days

​Improve feedback loop response time, ≥60% actions closed ≤30 days

What You Get

  1. Manager OS Design (Weeks 1–2) — We define the essential workflows your managers must run: Weekly team cadence, Performance check-ins, Prioritization rhythm, Accountability and escalation rules, Decision-making guardrails
     

  2. Pilot Team Enablement (Weeks 2–5) — We install the toolkit with your first cohort of managers: Guided adoption, Playbooks and agendas, Decision and meeting structures, Scripts + templates for consistent execution
     

  3. System Rollout & Reinforcement (Weeks 5–10) — We expand the OS across your larger manager layer: Leader playbooks, Manager scorecards, Adoption dashboards, 30–60–90 day reinforcement plan
     

  4. Metrics & Governance — Every Accelerator includes: DLI, MOA%, EAV baselines, Target ranges for 90 days, Adoption tracking and early-signal reporting
     

Your managers don’t guess. They follow a system and you can measure it.

Who This Is For

Companies where:
 

  • Managers are smart but inconsistent
     

  • Decisions slow down or bounce between leaders
     

  • Teams depend too heavily on one or two executives
     

  • Growth is creating more managers than governance
     

Ideal for SaaS, services, healthcare, field ops and 150–800+ FTE organizations.
 

If you’ve completed the 1-Week Operating Review or People Architecture Blueprint, this is your next step.

Define – 6–8 critical manager behaviors and meeting architecture

Instrument – MOA% and weekly cohort curve setup; reporting cadence

Design – curriculum, exercises, and enablement assets

Activate – facilitate Cohort-01 (optional) and hand off for Cohort-02+

How It Works

Investment Tiers

Design Only

150–400 FTE: 4–6 weeks | $15k–$25k 

  • Manager OS
     

  • Playbooks & templates
     

  • Adoption scorecard (MOA%)
     

  • Train-the-Trainer

Design + Cohort-01

6–10 weeks | $25k–$40k + $2k–$5k per manager
 

  • We facilitate first cohort (6–8 modules)
     

  • 30/60-day adoption reviews
     

  • Full handoff for Cohort-02+
     

Recommended cohort size: 12–20 managers (cap at 24).

Scope:

Design + enablement.
 

Your team executes ongoing admin; we don’t run program admin, ER casework, or general HR ops.
