Manager Mastery Program (MMP)

12-Month Cohort Program That Transforms Reactive Managers into Proactive Leaders

The Problem You’re Facing

Your managers are stuck in firefighting mode. They’re working 60+ hours, making every decision themselves, and wondering why their teams won’t take ownership. Meanwhile, strategic initiatives stall because your management layer can’t execute without constant oversight.

You’ve tried one-off training workshops. The energy lasts two weeks, then everyone returns to old habits. What your managers need isn’t another seminar—it’s a systematic development program with peer accountability and measurable progress tracking.

What Makes This Different

Most leadership programs teach concepts in isolation. The Manager Mastery Program builds capability through sustained practice, peer learning, and real-time application—with the accountability infrastructure to make new behaviors stick.

Over 12 months, your managers work through a structured curriculum alongside peers from other high-growth tech companies, tackling one high-impact leadership skill each month.

The 12-Month Topic Progression:

Each Month Includes:

1. Live Learning (2 Sessions)

• Session 1: Foundation — framework introduction and core concepts
• Session 2: Application — case studies and implementation strategies

2. Cross-Company Cohorts

• Learn alongside 15-30 managers from 3-8 other tech companies
• Gain perspectives beyond your company’s echo chamber
• Build a network of peers facing similar challenges

3. Practice Assignments

• Real-world application between sessions
• Weekly progress tracking through the FSF platform
• Accountability that ensures learning transfers to results

4. AI-Powered Toolkit

• Templates and tools for each topic
• AI assistance for faster adoption
• On-demand resources and case study library

5. Finish Strong Friday Platform (Included)

• Full access for all participating managers
• Weekly outcome tracking and accountability
• Work Relationship Strength (WRS) measurement
• Integration with company goals
• Gamification: streaks, points, badges, levels

Your 12-Month Wins:

• Decision velocity improves — Managers make calls instead of escalating everything
• Team ownership increases — Direct reports take initiative without constant direction
• Manager burnout decreases — Effective delegation means sustainable workloads
