Colleagues in conversation across a long table in a modern workspace

Workshop special

The leadership day your company doesn't want your managers to attend.

One day. One room. Twenty managers. Led in person by Adrian M. Jones, author of The Bullsh*t Stops Here.

The problem

Your managers know what is broken. They are not telling you.

Not because they are dishonest - because they have correctly read what your organisation rewards. So the real situation reaches you late, polished, and dressed as good news. This day is built to change that.

The day

What happens in the room

  1. 01

    They say what nobody says

    The thing everybody knows and nobody says goes on the wall in the first hour. Nothing on it is ever news. The information is not missing. The courage is.

  2. 02

    They work out what they actually believe

    Three convictions about leading people, in their own words. No values-wall vocabulary allowed, and their table will test every one.

  3. 03

    They prepare one real challenge

    A decision from their own job. The fact, the link to the decision, the question. Then they deliver it out loud, as a contribution and not an attack.

  4. 04

    They pick someone to fight for

    One person on their team who deserves backing in the room they are not in, and one honest question to ask their own people.

No models. No acronyms. No flipcharts.

Every exercise uses a real situation from the manager's own job. Every output is in their own handwriting and goes home with them.

This is not a feel-good day. If you want your managers more aligned, book something else. If you want them more honest, register below.
