Trust isn't binary. Someone on your team might trust your judgment completely and your follow-through not at all. This week you map where you actually stand.

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.
