What is the Manager course about?

Many managers operate with outdated playbooks, relying on annual reviews, top-down planning, and lagging metrics. In fast-moving environments, this creates misalignment, delayed feedback, and erosion of team agency. The real challenge isn't managing people, it's designing systems that scale with clarity.
