NewLevelWork Reviews & Product Details

Better Manager provided management coaching for all managers who opted in within our company. Over the course of session with my coach, I gained insights not only how to be a better manager for my teams (top-down), but how to be a better follower and work with leadership (bottom-up). Providing a forum for discussion and providing techniques/guides on how to improve collaboration and communication has been largely beneficial not only the development of my teams, but myself.

My coach was amazing. I was able to immediately develop trust and rapport. The sessions were loosely structured and flowed based on items that were top of mind for the week. I have been fortunate to have engaged in several coaching programs prior to my work with Better Manager. Better Manager has the strongest follow-up and the no frills/ simple design of their program allowed for us (myself and my coach) to spend our time engaged in meaningful discussions. I walked away from my time with the Better Manager program feeling like my coach genuinely cared about my growth and development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had a chance to work with BetterManager team on multiple occasions.

I used the management evaluation service and coaching sessions at the beginning of my management career. I then had a chance to do more coaching sessions at the later stages when I started to manage managers.

Apart from that, all of the Engineering Managers that I directly manage also used BetterManager coaching and evaluation.

Our latest collaboration was a series of workshops designed by Better Manager team to help Engineering Team Leads kickstart their management adventure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BetterManger team designed an evaluation survey for my direct reports. I got excellent feedback and then worked on some key areas during coaching sessions.

I had a chance to work with great coaches and got access to a broad set of training materials and resources.

The best part of BetterManager is the well-thought structure they've built on top of essential manager competencies and areas of experties. Manager job often feels chaotic and unstructured, but the way BetterManager team thinks about developing as a manager is simple and effective. It gives you the tools and a clear structure. They are able to turn management into a learnable skill, rather than frustrating trial and error game. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I worked with Wendy during my BetterManager experience. She helped guide me through new management techniques by demonstrating them through our sessions. Her weekly guidance helped me to look at problems from a unique viewpoint. I learned better communication skills and problem solving techniques. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'll admit, I was skeptical when my HRBP & CEO suggested our executives participate in the Better Manager program. I thought, what could they teach me? They don't know our business, our teams, our customers, etc. And what could I possibly learn over the course of 3 months that would impact my leadership style? The truth is, I learned a lot.And it wasn't just about management techniques, more effective ways to run meetings & 1:1s, how to lead by example, etc. Those are of course important pillars to being a Better Manager, but, I think the biggest learning for me was about 'me' and who I wanted to become. Over the course of three months, I was able to analyze the type of leader I had become and the type of leader I truly wanted to be. My Better manager coach (a true rockstar by the way) took the time to get to know me, our business, and my teams. By tailoring her method to me, I was able to quickly trust in her abilities and therefore learn so much more than I had ever imagined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Better Manager coaches are "professional", "highly qualified" and "engaged me easily", which are some of the comments we have been hearing from the participants. My experience as the program manager has been wonderful. The company has responded to all requests in a very timely fashion, provided monthly reports and accommodated participant requests. I couldn't be happier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I worked with my better manager to :

-To step into a more directorial role and to feel confident and comfortable owning the expertise I have and pulling resources in where I need them for support.

-Build a stronger team. We now have a clear mission statement and positioning.

-Get better at delegation and managing from balcony—less hands-on management style. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The personal attention and care that my manager gave to my goals, growth, and interests. She really helped me transform and grow and brought a lot of clarity and understanding to me by asking me to consider things I wouldn't ordinarily pause to think about.
