Build Trust. Earn Respect. Lead With Purpose.
Our standards let you be a better boss.
Management is a calling, an opportunity to lead and to serve, but you must be caring, smart, fair, and decisive. You must be a great communicator and able to work with every department. It’s a challenging career, but what’s better than helping people achieve great things together?
Standards Are Good for Your Organization

Simple Steps to Standardization
Our standards and tools are free. Spend a little time looking them over; you could ask your team for their reaction.
Our workbook, “Atoms & Orchestras,” explains how the standards are applied. You could also start with the confidential self-assessment in the Milwaukee Model. What if every manager in your organization shared the same standards?
