Elevate Leadership’s Management Essentials Toolkit empowers leaders to build the core skills they need to lead high-performing teams. We've helped thousands of managers improve their skills through innovative, science-based leadership training that drives true lasting change.
The AI era is here and it demands a new kind of leadership to succeed. A human-centered leadership philosophy is critical for managers and broader teams. Enter Leadership Intelligence: the ability to navigate uncertainty with resilience and curiosity, make timely and informed decisions in the absence of full information, and maintain strong empathy and trust to keep human connection at the center of leadership.
Traditional management approaches, designed for co-located teams and predictable environments, are falling short. To lead well in the current context, managers need an approach grounded in the realities of modern work, and backed by research in neuroscience and behavioral psychology. Our program does just that, laying the groundwork of Leadership Intelligence for the modern manager.
Elevate’s Manager Essentials Toolkit is a carefully sequenced four-workshop journey that mirrors how the brain builds capability and trust. The progression encourages participants to ask more questions rather than having all the right answers, and to develop problem-solving capabilities in their teams rather than handing down mandates.
Participants will master the mindset shift and practical skills that distinguish high-performing managers in today's context. The content is supplemented by videos from Elevate’s Learning Libraryto enable continuity and consistency beyond the workshops.
Neuroscience research confirms that psychological safety is the foundation of all high-performing teams. In our increasingly isolated work environments where colleagues collaborate through screens, intentional trust-building has become mission-critical. This workshop gives managers the self-awareness and tools to create genuine connection, even in distributed settings.

With trust established, teams can engage in the kind of honest, growth-oriented feedback that drives performance. Our curiosity-centered approach — asking "What's behind that behavior?" instead of "Here's what you did wrong" — creates the conditions for real development. Research shows that teams with strong feedback cultures achieve 12% better business outcomes and 27% lower turnover. This workshop builds that competence.

With trust, feedback capability, and uncertainty tolerance in place, teams are ready for the systematic practices that drive sustained high performance. The skills covered in this workshop represent three of the most critical for managers to get right for everything else to flow. But this isn't about imposing accountability from above, it's about creating mutual commitment where team members have a voice in how they want to be supported and held accountable.
