Wondering if People On Purpose® is right for you? Let’s get into what makes us different from traditional management training, and why PoP® is the program you’ve been looking for.
Leading a team is one of the most vulnerable, challenging, and, let’s be real, expensive aspects of running a business. Whether you’re a CEO or stepping into a management role for the first time, you’ve probably felt that creeping sense of doubt. The nagging feeling that maybe, just maybe, a traditional management approach isn’t quite cutting it.
When it comes to the vulnerability of leadership, it can sometimes feel like if something isn’t working, it’s a personal attack on you or your personality.
But hear us when we say: it’s not.
The beautiful thing about leadership and the “people” side of business, is that there’s always a path for leaders to fully be who they are, and still be incredibly successful. That’s where People On Purpose® (PoP®) comes in—a management training program designed not just to teach you how to lead a team, but how to do it authentically.
Why Traditional Management Training Falls Short
Traditional management courses and the leadership most of us have experienced usually models a one-size-fits-all approach with a bend towards control. But if that doesn’t align with how you want to show up for your team, you end up feeling like a square peg forced into a round hole.
When you’re trying to fit into a mold that goes against every instinct you have as a compassionate human, management feels like an uphill battle. And to be honest, your team can sense it. When you’re not showing up authentically, the trust between you and your team erodes, resulting in high turnover rates, unmet goals, and a lack of engagement – all of which can make you question your abilities as a leader.
The PoP® Philosophy: Leading with Authenticity and Purpose
People On Purpose® isn’t just another management course; it’s a transformative experience that starts with you. The core philosophy behind PoP® is simple yet powerful: the more you are unapologetically yourself in management, the greater impact you’ll make.
This program is designed to help you embrace your unique leadership voice and align it with HR-approved, tactical strategies that foster a thriving work culture.
PoP® is the result of years of experience, a relentless observation of personalities, a million mistakes, and several (4, to be exact) rounds of PoP® management training for entrepreneurs and managers alike.
This might sound like this program is built for everyone.
But once again, hear us when we say: it’s not.
It’s built for leaders like you.
The Six Core Tenets of PoP® Management Training
PoP® is a program that speaks to the unique nature of the beautiful diversity of leaders. It navigates theory, research, and a special blend of approachable and relatable lessons that speak to the differences of five fundamental leadership styles.
The leaders who get the most out of our program share the core tenets of our philosophy, which are:
Tenet 1: Ethical Leadership
PoP® leaders are committed to embodying ethical values and ensuring their organizations operate in a legally sound manner. They believe in doing things “the right way,” not just the easy way.
Tenet 2: Balanced Relationships and Productivity
PoP® leaders know that it’s possible to build meaningful relationships without sacrificing productivity. They strive for a work culture where both can thrive.
Tenet 3: Diversity and Individual Growth
PoP® leaders understand the value of a diverse team. They are committed to helping each team member excel in their role, recognizing that a good manager can significantly impact their reports’ careers.
Tenet 4: Career-Driven
PoP® leaders are ambitious, always seeking the next step in their career, whether it’s a promotion or building a more successful business.
Tenet 5: Self-Awareness
PoP® leaders are introspective, embracing their weaknesses with the same positivity as their strengths. They understand that self-awareness is key to growth.
Tenet 6: HR Compliance Is Part Of Management
PoP® leaders use HR practices to protect their people and their company. They find comfort in methods that create success for all stakeholders involved.
The PoP® Difference: What Sets It Apart
What makes PoP® different from other management training programs? It starts with the recognition that leadership isn’t about fitting into a mold; it’s about embracing who you are and leading from that place. Here’s what you can expect inside our program that you won’t find in traditional ones:
