Leadership Unleashed

Manager training for the people who actually run the week.

Three one-hour modules that turn good technicians into leaders: how to lead and manage at the same time, a five-level ladder for growing every person on a team, the LADMI model for leading, advocating, delegating, motivating and inspiring, and how to correct without punishing. Built and taught by Brabo HCM.

70%

of the difference in how engaged a team is comes down to the manager. Not the pay, not the software. The person who sets the week and decides what "good" looks like.

Three modules, in order

Each module is a chapter to read, a lesson you can take alone or run live for a room of managers, a workbook built on the manager's real team, and a quiz. About two hours each.

Module 1

Introduction to Leadership

What management is, what leadership is, and why the same person has to do both before lunch. Then the five levels: a shared language for how much of a problem each person carries before it reaches the manager.

  • Leadership vs. management, and which one a moment needs
  • The shift from doer to leader
  • Reporter, Analyst, Advisor, Decision-Maker, Operator
  • Trust, the say-do ratio, and the standard you walk past
Module 2

Lead, Advocate, Delegate, Motivate & Inspire

The LADMI model: five verbs and one tool for each, with talk tracks managers can use the same week.

  • A weekly rhythm that gives a team clarity without adding meetings
  • The four-step ask that gets a decision
  • The five-part delegation brief and levels of authority
  • Six 1:1 questions, and the 30-second story
Module 3

Corrective Actions

What to do when the standard is not met: choosing the right level, the conversation, and documentation that holds up.

  • Documented coaching through termination, and when each fits
  • Performance vs. conduct, and the different expectations for each
  • Medical conditions and protected time off
  • The five elements every record needs, and how to log it in Paylocity

The five levels

Every person on a team operates at a level when a problem shows up. A leader's job is to move each person up one level, and the tool is the question they ask when the person walks in.

Level 1Reporter

"Something's wrong." Good, like a smoke alarm. Everything still lands on the manager.

Level 2Analyst

The problem and the cause. No way forward yet.

Level 3Advisor

Problem, cause, and three ways to fix it.

Level 4Decision-Maker

A recommendation with a reason. The manager can say yes in ten seconds.

Level 5Operator

Solved, and everyone who needs to know, knows.

How it works

Online, self-paced

Managers sign in on any device. Progress saves as they go, so a chapter started on the floor can be finished at home.

Or live, with Brabo

Every lesson includes facilitator notes and a run of show, so Brabo can teach it in your conference room or over video.

Built on real situations

Workbooks use the manager's own team: real priorities, real asks, a real hand-off, a real conversation to plan.

Visible to you

Client administrators see who has started, who has finished, and quiz results, with a one-click export.

"Nothing in it needs a budget or a new meeting. It needs each manager to ask one different question the next time someone walks in with a problem."
