β€œI was very fortunate to come across Manager Tools over 10 yrs. ago and I've continued to listen ever since. I've also attended the in-person training and have purchased multiple products...each has delivered value far in excess of its price. It's rare to find such specific, actionable, and effective guidance...and I usually find opportunities to apply this guidance within days!” Graham Cochrane, Senior IT Manager, TD Bank Group

"There might be an art to great management but every day effective management is just the hard work of implementing some best practices. These best practices are the sum of the tools I've learned from Manager Tools over the years."
