WE BUILD BETTER BOSSES
Using standard tools, terms and practices gets everyone speaking the same language and lets executives delegate with confidence.
CEOs trust them, and employees love working for them
Great managers run great meetings; they lead innovative teams and successful projects. They foster a culture of collaboration, and they clearly communicate direction and priorities.
But being a professional manager requires command of the ethical, technical and educational standards.
A Simple, Scalable System
Standards-Based Management is detailed in our book, Atoms & Orchestras. Like musical notation, it gets any size group onto the same page. Simple language and clear standards relieve the miscommunication and friction that’s too common at work. The Toolkit shows how to apply the standards to your organization.
A Manager Development Community
The Center for Management Terms & Practices is the standards body for general management, launched in 2017 after a pilot with the Small Business Administration. We are a community of generalists—managers who work cross-functionally—from organizations of all sectors and sizes.
The Standards
Ethical: The Pledge of Managerial Power
Technical:Â The General Management Index
Educational: The Milwaukee Model
