Working long.
Not working smart.
A workshop for your middle managers on managing up, across and down — so the work still ships without a layer of the business running itself into the ground to get it there.
Managing up, across and down with equal competence. Most managers are weighted heavily in one direction and can't see it. We map where the attention is going now, and where it needs to go instead.
Not everything on the plate belongs on the plate. What must always be true at Medik8, and what is a judgement call. Their team's plate gets the same treatment.
The assertive conversation. Pushing back on a deadline, handing work across a department line, and following it up until it's finished.
Teams take a live Medik8 pressure scenario and present how they'd re-cut it to a senior leader, who gives them feedback in the room.
Every skill I teach is built on behavioural research, and every engagement is bracketed by surveys designed by a global workforce researcher — one on the way in, one on the way out. Participants reliably move on at least one skill; most move on three: how well they understand it, how it applies at Medik8, and their own competency.
