The real problem
Why leadership workshops don’t change your managers
These gaps aren’t caused by bad managers, but by the absence of shared standards. The 60-day program installs them: not a workshop, not a one-off training.
The gaps workshops leave
- Team members lack development plans
- KPIs and OKRs aren’t clearly defined
- No action plans for underperformance and growth
- Resignations come as “surprises”
- Feedback is vague, emotional, or undocumented
- The recruitment process isn’t followed
- One-on-ones are unstructured or nonexistent
- No alignment between goals and business objectives
What the program installs
- Set measurable KPIs and goals
- Run effective 1:1s
- Give factual, documented feedback
- Build and implement IDPs
- Drive performance and alignment
- Hire and onboard the right people
International-standard manager tools
Ready-to-use templates, feedback scripts, and proven frameworks designed for real-world management challenges.
Implementation support
Structured coaching while you roll out the program, so managers do not just learn, they actually implement what they learn during the 60 days.
Fast and focused, ready for Monday
A structured rollout with defined manager outputs, checkpoints, and implementation follow-up.
Inside the co-pilot
What your managers actually use
The program runs on the same co-pilot managers use every week, so the training becomes habits, not slides.
Goals & action plans
Set goals that actually hold up
Every manager sets measurable KPIs with an action plan. The co-pilot scores each goal against SMART and rewrites the weak ones, so “set goals” means good goals.
- A SMART goal and action plan per person
- A quality score, not just storage
- Suggested rewrites when a goal is vague

1:1s & managerial rhythm
Keep the rhythm with every team
Managers see their whole team in one place and hold a steady cadence of 1:1s and reviews, so nobody drifts and nothing slips.
- The team and their goals at a glance
- A cadence for 1:1s and reviews
- Add people by hand or import a sheet

Our method
Learn. Do. Grow.
The program runs on the same spine as everything we build, deployed with your whole team and proven with data.
Who it's for
Who is the program for?
Built for organisations that need to install strong management fundamentals across teams, from first-time managers to experienced managers who need reinforcement.
Mid-sized organisations
Growing organisations that need consistent management standards across teams.
Multi-team or multi-site organisations
Companies where management quality varies by team, site, or country.
Organisations promoting internally
Businesses promoting managers internally who need real management skills, quickly.
This program is not for organisations that:
- Are looking for inspirational leadership talks or charisma-based training
- Want a one-off workshop without follow-up, execution, or measurement
- Expect behaviour change without manager accountability
- Prefer generic leadership models over operational management systems
- Are not ready to standardise how managers set goals, give feedback, and manage performance
This is a practical implementation program. If that is not what you are looking for, it will not be a good fit.
The 4-step method
How the 60-day program works
A clear, four-step process built for practical implementation and real follow-through. Proof, not participation: we baseline on day 0 and measure the delta by day 60.
Manager 360 assessment
Baseline every manager with a 360 assessment to identify gaps, align expectations, and set development priorities.
Online practical training
Short, structured modules with deliverables. Managers immediately apply the tools: KPIs, 1:1 templates, feedback forms, IDPs, and performance reviews.
Implementation support
Structured support from the co-pilot and coaching. Regular check-ins review outputs, correct missteps, and make sure the tools are actually used.
Progress review and ROI
30 and 60-day reviews track behaviour change and output quality, with optional 6 and 12-month comparison to prove ROI over time.
Program rollout
How companies typically deploy the program
Designed to be piloted, validated, and then scaled without disrupting operations or overloading managers.
Pilot first, then scale
Start with a focused group of 5 to 15 managers to validate adoption and outputs before expanding.
Delivered fully online, with support
Managers complete practical modules and apply the tools with structured follow-up and implementation support.
Low operational load
Designed to fit into managers’ existing schedules, with short modules and clear deliverables. No workshops, no time off operations.
Flexible rollout by structure
Deploy by country, function, business unit, or management level, depending on your organisation.
The difference
Why Monday Simon works, when traditional training doesn’t
A four-step development process built for Monday-morning implementation. A little learning, and a lot of focus on doing it, with hands-on support.
“The Monday Simon Manager Development program helped our managers tighten the basics: goals, development, follow-up, feedback, and accountability. What I like is that it’s all practical systems they actually use. It made management more predictable and consistent, and it reduced a lot of the back-and-forth I used to deal with.”
FAQ
FAQ
Key questions HR teams ask before rolling out the program.
How long does the program take?
The core program runs over 60 days, with structured monitoring to validate the implementation and the takeaways of the training. Companies can optionally add 6 and 12-month follow-ups to track long-term impact.
What makes Monday Simon different from traditional leadership training?
Traditional workshops create awareness but rarely change behaviour. The Manager Development Program installs practical management systems managers actually use: KPIs, 1:1s, feedback, IDPs, performance reviews, and hiring. The focus is on implementation and follow-through, not theory or inspiration.
In which language is the program delivered?
The program and coaching are currently provided in English, French, and Thai. If you need multilingual support for your teams, contact us to explore options.
How many managers can join at once?
Most organisations start with a pilot group of 5 to 15 managers, then scale based on results and adoption. Larger rollouts are supported, and group pricing applies.
Is there coaching included?
Yes. Coaching is included and strongly recommended to ensure managers implement the tools correctly and follow through on deliverables. Depending on your objectives, coaching can be adjusted in volume, or excluded if you prefer a training with implementation and assessment only.
How do we measure results?
We track progress through a 360 assessment at the start and end, a Manager Readiness Score, 30 and 60-day checkpoints, and optional 6 and 12-month comparison. You receive clear, measurable indicators of behaviour change and team impact.
How do we get started?
Start by booking a discovery call. We will review your manager population, rollout objectives, and constraints, then recommend the most suitable program structure.
Who owns the program internally: HR or managers?
HR typically owns the rollout and the standards, while managers are accountable for applying the tools. This ensures consistency without micromanagement.
