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.
