Leading Leaders (Manager of Managers)

10 simulations. The moments where you have to lead through somebody else's judgement instead of your own.

Leading leaders is the hardest transition in a career, and most organizations leave it to instinct. The work now belongs to somebody else, and everything you know about it reaches you second hand, through the people you are assessing. Every problem is still solvable by you, and that is the trap: solve it, and you teach their team where the real authority lives. Ten simulations put you inside those moments. Specific feedback at every step, a results report, and a certificate of completion.

What You Will Practice

Module 1: The Distance

  • Sim 1: The problem you could solve in ten minutes, and what it costs to solve it
  • Sim 2: Seeing the work when everything you know arrives filtered
  • Sim 3: The manager who escalates every decision back to you

Module 2: Holding Leaders to Account

  • Sim 4: The manager everybody likes who does not deliver
  • Sim 5: The manager who delivers and leaves damage behind
  • Sim 6: When their way is not your way, and the result is fine anyway
  • Sim 7: The skip level that informs you without undermining anybody

Module 3: Building the Bench

  • Sim 8: The promotion that was a mistake, and what you owe the person
  • Sim 9: Making your managers a team rather than a queue of one to ones
  • Sim 10: When a leader has to go
