The Feedback You're Not Giving

Before you can give better feedback, you need to know what you've been avoiding. This week you build the inventory.

Take It Off the Page

You built the trust map last week. This week you take it off the page. One intentional conversation without waiting for the perfect time.

Your Trust Map

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.

Apr 14

Close the Gap

Recovery is a leadership skill. What happens after you drop the ball shapes the relationship more than the drop itself — if you handle it right.

Do What You Said

Your team isn't forming their picture of you from the big moments. They're forming it from the small ones — and whether you followed through on what you said.

When Are You Unpredictable?

Trust erodes in small, repeated moments. Your team is constantly deciding which version of you is showing up today — and what's safe to bring you because of it.

Know Your Pattern

You can't fix your regulation pattern before you name it. This week's rep: go back through your log, find what's true across all of it, and write it down in one sentence.

Stay in the Room

You've named the sensation. You've taken the pause. This week you put both to work in a real charged moment — from the first signal to the last word.

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.
