What is the Manager Practice course about?
Professionals promoted into management often lack access to structured, field-tested systems that handle real-world complexity. Templates are generic, escalation paths are reactive, and decision frameworks don't scale. This leads to burnout, misalignment, and avoidable escalations, even for capable individuals.
