Coaching Programme for Tech Managers

According to Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace 2024, up to 70% of the variance in team engagement is attributable to the manager. Yet many tech leaders are promoted without formal leadership training — which can quietly erode performance and culture.

The financial impact is real: low-engagement teams see up to 43% higher turnover; in the UK, replacing a single mid-level developer can cost £30,000+ (Oxford Economics 2023).

Structure (Sense → Shift → Sustain)

  • Sense (3 sessions): establish goals, map strengths/blindspots, align with business priorities
  • Shift (3 sessions): trust-building rituals, feedback & 1:1 frameworks, delegation & decision clarity
  • Sustain (3 sessions): embedding habits, stakeholder updates, impact review & next-steps plan

Delivery Options

  • 1:1 coaching for new or at-risk managers
  • Small-cohort programme (4–8 managers) for scale
  • Manager + Line Manager alignment touchpoints (optional)
  • Lightweight progress reporting for HR/L&D

Focus areas: first-90-days plan, psychological safety, handling conflict, running effective 1:1s and feedback, delegation without micromanaging, reducing firefighting.
