HABITS™: The High-Retention
Manager Program
What Is HABITS™: The High-Retention Manager Program?
HABITS™ is a practical leadership development program and community based on 7 Habits of High-Retention Managers.
It’s designed for people managers who want to:
-
Lead with confidence (not second-guessing)
-
Build trust and accountability
-
Handle performance and people issues more effectively
-
Reduce turnover and burnout — for themselves and their teams
This isn’t theory-heavy leadership training.
It’s real-world, people-first leadership that actually works.
What Makes HABITS™ Different?
Most leadership programs:
-
Are one-and-done workshops
-
Focus on personality instead of skill
-
Don’t support managers once training ends
HABITS™ is different.
✔ Built specifically for people managers
✔ Based on proven retention-focused habits
✔ Simple, practical, and easy to apply
✔ Includes ongoing community and support
✔ Designed for real workplaces — not perfect ones

-
Practice accountability and manage performance effectively

Communicate early and often
-
Create a workplace people don’t want to leave!
