Middle managers make or break companies

The CEO may come up with the best strategy.
But it’s up to the middle layer to make it happen.

Many organizations are flattening, which leads to:

Fewer managers
overall

Companies reduce these roles significantly to cut costs and move faster.

Each manager leads
more people

Instead of 10 people, they’re now managing 12+, while also doing more hands-on work themselves

The job itself
is harder

True leadership skills, like decision making and managing conflict, are more critical than ever.

Fewer managers are doing more complex work with bigger teams.

Your middle layer needs to lead independently, make tough calls, and drive results.

Most development programs can’t prepare them for that.

Most leadership programs fail middle managers

The all-too-familiar cycle:

Manager attends
a workshop

They’re engaged and inspired by the content

They return
to work enthusiastic

But they’re not sure how to actually apply what they learned

Day-to-day work takes over

They get buried in meetings, emails, and fires to put out

Nothing changes

The excitement fades and you don’t see the results you need

Your middle layer is absolutely critical.

Executive coaching doesn’t fit. Entry-level programs don’t apply.

You can’t afford generic solutions that ignore middle management realities

You need development built specifically for this layer that delivers measurable, observable results.

Skills

10

Min/day

Designed for how people learn best

Practice on real challenges as they happen, improve daily, and build capacity over time.

Behavior-based

Hard skills like communication paired with the behavioral drivers.

For example, we don’t just teach conflict resolution. We address the people-pleasing that makes leaders avoid conflict altogether.

Structured

26 skills developed through daily 10-minute lessons over 12 months.

Each skill builds on the last, ensuring lasting behavior change through consistent practice and reinforcement.

Comprehensive

Develop the whole person,
not just the professional.

Middle managers juggle career and family demands at a critical life stage. Tools for managing both improve productivity.

Practical

10 minutes a day fits into even the busiest schedules.

Every lesson tackles real workplace challenges, not abstract leadership theory that doesn’t apply to how people actually work.

Actionable

Immediate actions included in every lesson.

Real-world examples help people see themselves in the situation, making learning personally relevant and easy to apply.

Measurable

Track engagement with monthly participation analytics.

Impact assessments at start, midpoint, and end show you exactly how leadership behaviors improved.

It’s time to elevate
the manager-to-VP layer that drives your results.

Selected Impact Results from Rekindle Participants

Decision Making

Before Rekindle

70% of participants put off making decisions because they felt the decisions were too important and personally risky.

After Rekindle

60% made reasonable decisions and adjusted as needed. They saw decision making as a way to move work forward,
not a risk to avoid.

Participants say they now:

Overthink less and feel less mental strain

Make more decisions instead of stalling

Act faster without being careless

Managing Conflict

Before Rekindle

65% avoided or silently handled issues
with their managers or senior stakeholders. They viewed these conversations as too uncomfortable.

After Rekindle

50% now raise concerns by connecting
them to business needs. They see these talks as strategic, not uncomfortable.

Participants say they:

Have fewer hidden disagreements

Share important information upward more often

Now step up in important moments instead of backing away

Delegating

Before Rekindle

75% didn't delegate. When team members struggled, they stepped in to fix things themselves. They thought delegating meant they were failing.

After Rekindle

65% now delegate work deliberately,
seeing it as a leadership responsibility.

Participants report:

Less hidden extra work

Fewer bottlenecks slowing the team down

Team members getting stronger over time

Our goal is to make sure you can offer Rekindle to as many people as possible in your organization. We’ve made it affordable, and we’ll work together with you to select a cohort size that makes sense for your goals and budget.

No two participants are exactly alike, but we’ve noticed a general pattern. At the end of Module 1, participants generally report thinking about things in new ways. Within 2 months, many participants are going beyond just executing and are looking at the big picture. We’re confident you’ll notice results fairly early on. 

10 minutes per day. We’ve taken care of all of the planning, so participants don’t have to decide what to focus on each day. All they need to do is log in, complete the lesson, and move on with their days.

Participants love that there’s no travel involved or work to catch up on after being away for professional development. Heads of Talent Development love that the process is completely hassle-free and doesn’t require coordinating travel or reimbursements.

We built Rekindle specifically for the middle layer, so it’s not appropriate for your entry or executive layers. The program focuses on challenges unique to manager-to-VP roles: managing larger teams while doing individual work, navigating organizational complexity without constant direction, and making judgment calls in ambiguous situations. Entry and executive layers face different challenges that require different development.

Most clients treat Rekindle as their foundational vitamin. Then, they inject one-off seminars or workshops as needed. With Rekindle, you can be confident all of your manager-to-VP layer leadership development needs are covered in one program.

Clients tell us the impact metrics are one of their favorite things about partnering with Rekindle. 

Each participant takes 3 assessments throughout the 12-month program. You’ll get anonymized cohort impact data showing clear improvement in leadership behaviors, along with monthly participation reports.

Our goal is for Rekindle participants to graduate from the program equipped with all the skills they can apply in the future. They’ve spent 12 months building transferable skills, and many participants report applying the tools they’ve learned in new positions or bigger roles.

Rekindle covers 26 leadership skills. Each skill is developed in depth over two weeks. Some of the skills we develop include:

  • Making decisions effectively, 
  • Having difficult conversations,
  • Influencing outcomes across teams, and
  • Delegating and coaching.
