Amazon Description Most firms don’t fail because they lack talent—they fail because they lack leaders who can grow other leaders . Managers get promoted for technical skill, but very few are ever trained to lead other leaders with clarity, trust, and confidence. The result? Owners stay trapped in day-to-day decisions, managers feel overwhelmed and underprepared, and high-potential staff never get the development they need to advance. Managing Leaders is the Level 3 workbook in the Breaking the Bottleneck Leadership Series—built specifically for professional-service firms where growth depends on the strength of the leadership pipeline. This workbook gives you the practical tools, skills, and development path to turn capable managers into confident leaders who multiply the firm’s impact. Inside, you’ll learn how to: • Grow leaders who think strategically—not just execute tasks • Build trust that empowers true delegation and shared decision-making • Coach and develop upcoming leaders without micromanaging • Raise the leadership “lid” across your department or firm • Build resilience, ownership, and accountability in every leader you manage • Multiply your capacity by strengthening the leaders who report to you Unlike traditional leadership books that offer inspiration but little structure, this workbook provides a clear, skill-based development system used by firms to build high-trust, high-performance leadership at every level. Each competency includes guided reflection, practical exercises, real-world application steps, and curated recommendations for reading, watching, and listening—so leaders learn through action, not theory. Whether you manage one leader or an entire department, this workbook will help you: • Break the leadership bottleneck • Develop leaders who develop others • Create a culture of trust, clarity, and ownership • Scale your firm without burning out the people at the top Better leaders build better leaders. And better leaders build better firms. Start developing the leaders who will shape your firm’s future.
