Our Proprietary 5-Step Burst Learning Model™
The Leadership Journey for Supervisors and Managers is delivered through short, focused bursts, not as a one-time training event. Bite-sized courses are spaced out over time.
Built around adult learning principles, our 5-Step Burst Learning Model™ guides supervisors from learning to application. Follow-up holds them accountable for applying new skills that solve real workplace challenges:
Step 1 – Learn
Supervisors learn practical, how-to skills from a short course. Each skill is explained step-by-step, making it easy to understand.
Step 2 – Internalize
Supervisors discuss, practice, and connect skills to their workplace situations.
Step 3 – Apply
On the job, supervisors use Personal Action Plans to apply new skills and solve real workplace challenges.
Step 4 – Follow-up
About a week later, follow-up holds supervisors accountable for applying their Personal Action Plans on the job.
Step 5 – Repeat
Supervisors repeat these steps every 2–4 weeks to build all 12 core leadership skills.

Supervisor Training Drives Long-Term Performance Improvements
Most training programs stop at Step 2, and this is why Harvard Business Review says 90% of leadership and supervisor training fails. Steps 3-5 are essential in driving behavior change and business results.
Using personal action plans, supervisors apply their new skills back on the job. Follow-up tools hold them accountable for doing so.
Repeating the process establishes a systematic approach to learning and development within your organization. After taking only a few courses there is a mindset shift in supervisors. They start thinking about improvement, not just in their role as a supervisor and leader, but in all aspects of their job.
When multiple supervisors experience this mindset shift, great things start to happen. As their teams pick up on it, everyone starts looking for ways to improve. A culture of continuous improvement develops as a result of the supervisor training.
- Organizations experience higher productivity, faster growth, and fewer problems.
- Employees become energetic and engaged.
- ROI for supervisor training comes quickly.
- Profits improve and the value of the organization grows.
