Behaviour change for managers

Leadership doesn’t live in titles; it shows up in everyday choices. Without a shared sense of ‘what good looks like’ teams drift. Managers who set direction, show what’s possible and reinforce it daily create coherence that drives results.

Carrying it all? That’s the fastest way to burn out and block your team. Seventy percent of managers say their jobs are harder than ever, but most haven’t been shown how to lead through others. The shift is from solving problems to building people.

Brilliant in your own lane? Great – but it’s not enough. When managers align KPIs, cut through silos and connect the dots, they unlock bigger, faster outcomes. Cross-functional thinking doesn’t just reduce friction, it powers progress.

You can’t scale performance without strong managers. And that starts with coaching. Most performance issues trace back to poor feedback. But when managers coach well and often, teams thrive. In fact, businesses that build this capability see up to 22% lower employee turnover.

Firefighting feels productive – until everything’s on fire. The average employee loses 21.8 hours a week to inefficiency, often because their manager’s stuck in the weeds. High-impact leaders step back, see the bigger picture and free up space to think and move forward.

Disconnected goals create wasted energy. Poor performance conversations alone can shrink productivity by 27%. The best managers translate strategy into clear, everyday actions so their teams know where they’re going and how to get there.

Only 12% of employees feel they have a voice in shaping change. That’s a lot of untapped potential. When mid-level leaders are empowered to test, pilot and scale ideas, innovation gets closer to the front line – and the finish line.

Ever worked with someone who dodges accountability? Great leaders do the opposite. They take ownership, set the bar and build a culture where results – and responsibility – are shared.

Middle managers are often called the ‘engine of the organisation’ – but too many are running on empty.

They’re expected to lead teams, coach others, deliver results and drive change. But most haven’t been equipped to lead at this level.

And the cost of inaction? It adds up fast:

Poor leadership leads to lower engagement, higher attrition and stalled innovation –costing millions in lost productivity

Organisations that build manager capability see up to 22% lower employee turnover

Toxic cultures are 10x more likely to lose top talent and 2x more likely to underperform

This isn’t just a learning and development gap; it’s a performance one. Fix it, and everything starts to move faster.

Each journey is built by behavioural scientists to target the most urgent and expensive leadership breakdowns. They’re tried, tested and structured to deliver measurable impact.

But fast doesn’t mean fixed. Our journeys are modular – so if you want to swap in a different focus, stack on a tool or tweak the delivery, we’ll tailor it without delay.

One standout? Our manager conversation programme. It helps leaders:

Deliver feedback that sticks

Handle difficult conversations calmly and with clarity

Individual performance coaching

Most coaching is generic, unmeasured and inconsistent. Performa flips the script with science-backed, 1:1 coaching built to deliver results, not just warm words:

Real ROI, fast – Four sessions doubled goal achievement and sparked behaviour change in 95% of participants.
Not just for execs – Scalable support for rising stars, high-potentials and at-risk talent.
Proven performance lift – Clients saw 2x improvement over control groups – so you’re not guessing, you’re gaining.

360 feedback tool

Feedback isn’t enough if nothing changes. Most 360s end in a static report and a shrug. MindGym’s 360 assessment translates multi-source input into tailored, science-backed actions that drive real growth – not just awareness.

Feedback with follow-through – Real-world recommendations turn scores into behaviour change.

Built around your business – Customise with your own competency model or use MindGym’s behavioural frameworks.

Team and org-wide visibility – Aggregate trends make cultural risks impossible to ignore.

eLearning

The average eLearning module is long, forgettable and full of fluff. eWorkouts are the antidote. Sharp, interactive, nine-minute digital courses that activate learning in the moment – not in theory.

Activate learning when it’s needed – Employees get just-in-time guidance for real challenges.

Built to engage, not bore – Interactive, scenario-based design keeps brains switched on.

Reinforces and scales – Perfect before or after live sessions, and fits seamlessly into broader programmes.
Works where they work – SCORM-compliant, LMS-ready and fully mobile.
