Active Manager Program

The Active Manager Program is a comprehensive 12 month, hands-on leadership development course designed to equip middle managers with the fundamental skills they need to drive higher performance, increase productivity, and foster team engagement. Delivered through Dr Mike’s innovative Active Learning System, this program blends online learning, peer collaboration, and real-world skill application to create lasting behavioral change.

Key Features:

Practical Management Skills: The program focuses on essential management skills such as delegation, time management, coaching, communication, and leading high-performing teams. Each skill is introduced through short, focused online courses and reinforced through daily application in the manager’s own work.

Online Learning Modules: Learners have access to 20-30 minute video-based lessons each month, covering key management practices. These self-paced modules fit easily into busy schedules, allowing managers to learn at their convenience while immediately applying what they learn.

Individual Coaching Sessions: Managers receive one-on-one coaching from their Leader Coach, who helps them reflect on their progress, discuss challenges, and refine their practice. These 15-minute coaching sessions ensure alignment with both personal and organizational goals.

Collaborative Learning: Through facilitated Co-lab Groups, managers meet monthly with peers to share experiences, discuss progress, and troubleshoot challenges. This group dynamic fosters accountability and provides a space for deeper learning and peer support.
