ManagerGym

Practice the conversations leadership requires.

ManagerGym is an interactive leadership training app that helps managers practice difficult workplace conversations before they happen for real.

Giving tough feedback. Addressing a missed deadline. Handling a defensive employee. Setting clear expectations. Pushing back on an unrealistic request.

These are conversations managers are expected to handle — but rarely get a safe place to practice.

ManagerGym gives you that place.

HOW MANAGERGYM WORKS

Each leadership workout puts you inside a realistic workplace situation.

You choose how you would respond.

The conversation develops based on your decisions, allowing you to see how different leadership approaches can influence the outcome.

At the end of each workout, review your performance across four practical leadership competencies:

• Empathy
Understand and acknowledge another person's perspective while keeping the conversation productive.

• Clarity
Communicate observations, expectations, reasoning and next steps clearly.

• Accountability
Create ownership and follow-through without relying on blame or micromanagement.

• Assertiveness
Address difficult issues directly, calmly and respectfully.

ManagerGym includes leadership workouts covering situations such as:

PRACTICE. REFLECT. TRY AGAIN.

There is rarely one perfect sentence for a difficult workplace conversation.

ManagerGym lets you experiment with different approaches, see their consequences, review the feedback and replay the situation with a different strategy.

BUILD CONFIDENCE BEFORE THE CONVERSATION MATTERS

You can read about leadership.

You can watch someone explain leadership.

But eventually, you still have to decide:

“What do I actually say?”

ManagerGym gives you a place to practice that decision.

Train. Improve. Lead.
