greAT BOSSES aren’t born — they’re built
new boss? ask yourself:
Were you truly prepared for this role — or simply promoted and expected to figure it out?
Have you been given the tools to confidently Supervise, Manage, and Lead?
Are you leading your people the way they deserve — or learning through trial and error?
business owner or department director:
Have you given the good people you promoted the Boss training they need to succeed?
Do you have a true Boss Team — aligned, energized and effective?
Do you have a Boss Factory — a system that develops capable bosses who understand that people drive the mission and achieve the vision?
If the answer to any of these questions is no — then it’s time to Boss Up!
why boss development matters
Early in my career, I noticed a clear gap between effective and ineffective bosses.
While they were all great people. Some helped the department meet — and even exceed the mission. Others barely met it.
We had the right people to become a vision-attaining leadership team — we just didn’t know how to consistently develop them.
Through trial and error, what eventually emerged was an effective Boss Factory —a system focused on continual improvement that produced better supervisors, managers and leaders over time. That system helped guide the organization through the Great Recession and beyond.
If leadership feels hit and miss in your organization…
You’re not alone — and there is a solution.
Our mission is to help organizations transform a leadership “group” — into a true leadership “team.”
Most importantly, we help you establish a Boss Factory designed specifically for your workplace culture — one that develops new and upcoming bosses, while continually strengthening the skills of your current leaders.
The result is a team of confident supervisors, mangers, and leaders capable of carrying your organization well into the future.
How we do it
Through our 3-Step “Boss Up!” Program, we help you and your leadership team become more effective bosses — while assessing your environment and designing the most effective Boss Factory possible for your organization.
This approach equips your team to achieve vision after vision — intentionally, not accidentally.
Whether you’re an individual boss looking to grow, or a leader responsible for developing others — the Boss Up! approach meets you where you are.
While my experience is rooted in public service, the leadership principles behind Boss Up apply just as powerfully in private-sector organizations.
