The Reps

Every issue of One More Rep.
Articles on feedback and accountability.
Pick one. Run it this week.

Name the Sensation, Not the Emotion

Emotional regulation doesn't start with choosing a better response. It starts earlier — with learning to read the signal your body is already sending.

Your Decision-Making Pattern

You've made the call, followed up, and owned it when you were wrong. Now the question is: what do those reps reveal about how you actually lead?

Own the Wrong Call

The leaders people trust most aren't the ones who never get it wrong. They're the ones who say "I got this wrong — here's what I'm changing."

The 48-Hour Follow-Up

Most leaders think the hard part is making the decision. It's not. The hard part is staying present for what happens after.

The Cost of Over-Explaining

Making a good decision is only half the job. What you say after it — and how long you keep talking — tells your team everything about how much you trust it.

Consistency Over Intensity

Leadership doesn't change because of a single insight. It changes through deliberate practice, repeated on the hard days too.

Steady Under Pressure

Most leaders don't break under pressure because they lack skill. They break because their emotions move faster than their intentions. Here's how to change that.

Trust Yourself to Decide

One of the most common struggles leaders face isn’t a lack of skill or effort. It’s second-guessing. Not trusting themselves to make - and own - a decision.

Common Questions

What is The Reps?

The Reps is the public archive of every One More Rep newsletter issue. Each post contains a complete leadership rep — a specific, countable practice for people managers to run during the week.

What is practice-based leadership development?

Practice-based leadership development is the belief that leadership improves through specific, repeated behavioral practice — not through insight or understanding alone. A leader gets better by doing the same behaviors consistently until they become default, not by reading about them.

How are the reps organized?

The reps follow a progression: quarterly themes, monthly focuses, and four-week arcs within each month. Each arc moves from awareness to foundation to application to integration. The reps build on each other — they're designed to be run in sequence, not picked at random.

Where should I start?

If you're new, start with the pinned methodology post: What Is Practice-Based Leadership Development? Then browse the archive by theme or start from the most recent issue and work backward.

Can I do these reps if I'm a new manager?

Yes. The reps are designed for people managers at any experience level. Newer managers often find the awareness and foundation reps most immediately useful — they build the self-knowledge that makes everything else work.
