    The challenge

    Why this program is hard today.

    Many people become managers because they excelled in their previous role, then face their first performance conversation with little preparation.

    Facilitator-led leadership programs are effective but expensive, so they reach only a fraction of the managers who need them, and often months after a promotion.

    Talent teams struggle to see which managers are ready for more responsibility, which makes succession planning guesswork.
