# Your Managers Are Running on Instinct

# This Workbook Gives Them a System

Most managers were promoted because they were good at their job. Nobody taught them how to lead the people doing theirs. The Management IQ™ Workbook gives managers a structured framework to assess where they are, identify what to work on first, and build the skills that keep teams performing and staying.

# What This Workbook Helps You Do

- **Get an honest read on management capability**  
  Managers score themselves across core competency areas using the ASPO framework, so development conversations start with data, not guesses
- **Identify the gaps that cost you people**   
  The workbook surfaces the specific management behaviors tied to turnover, disengagement, and underperformance, not just the ones that look good on a review form
- **Build a development plan that fits real schedules**  
  Each section includes action items managers can start this week, not six-month leadership programs that never get finished
- **Give HR a shared language for manager effectiveness**   
  When every manager works from the same framework, coaching conversations, promotion decisions, and performance reviews get clearer and faster
- **Connect self-assessment to team outcomes**   
  The workbook links individual management behaviors to the metrics HR cares about: retention, engagement scores, time-to-productivity, and internal mobility
