“The Management Kits journey for middle leaders has been a catalyst for both leadership and school development. Emphasizing personalized, practical, on-the-job learning, participants can enact meaningful change within their domains, while aligning with broader school priorities. The hybrid program design effectively fosters collaboration and peer-learning across campuses, divisions, and teams of the school.”
“Based on Management Kits diagnostics and using their tools, we ran a series of workshops in our team that have helped us to align expectations, handle difficult situations, and become a more effective leadership team overall.”
