A focused, 90-day intervention to reduce avoidable people issues.
A practical, preventative sprint that helps managers handle different thinking styles more effectively — so fewer situations escalate to HR.
When the Manager Sprint is useful:
Managers escalate issues that feel preventable in hindsight
Performance conversations become subjective or inconsistent
HR must play the role of mediator, with concerned managers and frustrated employees
You lose strong performers due to disagreements and discomfort
What the Sprint does:
Builds manager judgement before issues escalate
Creates clarity around expectations and feedback
Reduces reliance on HR as a default backstop
