Elevate Leadership’s Management Essentials Program 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.
Our Management Essentials Program focuses on the core behaviors that drive the largest impact for emerging leaders. We help managers build trust, communicate thoughtfully, and delegate with intention, all through practical tools they can apply right away.
Learn how to build trust intentionally, starting with individuals and expanding to the broader team. We teach practical tools like the “emotional bank account” to help leaders understand how daily interactions either build or break trust. We also teach how to create psychological safety using strategies such as modeling vulnerability, actively seeking input, and framing mistakes as learning opportunities.
We teach a simple structure managers can use to make their 1:1s more focused and impactful. This includes aligning on the purpose of the meeting, co-creating agendas, preparing effectively, and using the time for deeper coaching and support. The result: more meaningful conversations and fewer missed opportunities for growth.
Through our “3 Levels of Listening” framework, managers learn to move from surface-level listening to active listening that builds connection. We also explore common barriers, like planning a response while someone else is talking, and practice techniques such as summarizing, asking reflective questions, and showing empathy to help others feel truly heard.
Our delegation framework guides managers through the “what,” “why,” and “how” of effective delegation. Managers learn how to clarify outcomes, communicate expectations, and set appropriate checkpoints without micromanaging. By focusing on growth-oriented delegation, managers build team capability while staying focused on their highest priorities.
Learn how to give feedback that’s both kind and clear — so it actually leads to change. Using our No-Drama Feedback Model, clients learn how to name specific behaviors, share impact, and invite conversation without creating defensiveness. We also teach a structure for giving positive feedback that reinforces the behaviors they want to see more of. The goal is to create a culture where feedback flows in every direction and helps everyone grow.
Our training program combines multiple formats of leadership training proven to build long-term management skills. We offer multiple solutions to fit your team’s needs:
Our expert-led workshops provide practical techniques that your emerging managers can use immediately, either in-person or virtually. Choose from pre-built modules across a variety of essential topics, or let us build a custom program for your team.
Personalized coaching helps managers apply what they’ve learned and address their unique challenges. Elevate coaches use real feedback and behavioral insights to guide each manager’s development journey.
Great leadership habits require reinforcement. Elevate Academy provides short-form, high-impact video courses to help managers refresh key concepts anytime, anywhere.
Group coaching effectively supports skills development, assists in the creation of new norms and behaviors, and helps emerging managers take the lessons from training to a deeper level. Cohorts of leaders learn from the coach and from each other, and form bonds that last beyond the classroom.
