Make Good Managers Great with Digital Chiefs of Staff and Coaches

Great managers create strategic clarity and accountability, have operational rigor, are prepared for every 1on1 and business review, see risks as they arise, actively coach people to improve their contributions, and operate transparently and cross functionally. Great strategy execution is wholly dependent on these behaviors – yet most managers don’t consistently demonstrate them for lack of time or skill.

82%
of managers are “accidental managers” with no training.
27%
of people think their manager is effective.
17%
of people director level and below know the strategy.

Now digital chiefs of staff and coaches give every manager the capacity and competency to operate at peak performance – amplifying their team’s impact and delivering on the strategy.

“Now, I can give every manager a Chief of Staff so they operate at their highest potential — without increasing headcount cost.  WorkBoardAI’s digital Chief of Staff and Leadership Coach raise competency and capacity across the board so we can execute on our vision faster.”

Agents don’t replace your managers, they elevate them

What our agents won’t do is take direction from other people, initiate any communication without a manager’s direction and involvement, or give feedback managers haven’t reviewed and approved. Their role is to elevate – not replace – the manager’s actions, skills, decisions, and conversations.

Low manager effectiveness undermines your strategy and compounds culture barriers. Classes and cohorts guiding managers to “do better” isn’t enough to shift behaviors – you have to change their daily capacity and operating habits to drive your best business outcomes.  Our agents do just that – operating with rigor even when managers lack it, closing the gap between their intentions and actions, doing their homework and preparation, and even taking the right steps on their behalf.   It’s the business equivalent of going to the gym on their behalf.
