Personalized plans, weekly assignments, bite-sized lessons, and built-in accountability—so your managers lead better, teams perform, and you stay focused on the bigger picture.
You’ve promoted smart, capable people into leadership roles. They know your business and care about the work—yet the shift from doing the job to leading others isn’t happening fast enough.
You've tried books, workshops, and training platforms. But without structure, context, and application, nothing sticks. And coaching every manager yourself doesn't scale.
Leadership Made Real™ gives each manager a clear, role-specific development plan—delivered in weekly, on-the-job assignments that build habits while work gets done. You get visibility into progress without adding meetings, complexity, or extra oversight.
Tailored tracks for Team Leads, Managers, and Executives—so each leader focuses on the skills and behaviors that matter most at their level.
Development assignments turn actual projects and challenges into leadership practice—no time lost to disconnected training.
Built-in assessments and simple dashboard reporting show growth in both skills and behavior over time.
Launch in minutes for one manager or your whole leadership team, with a consistent method that works across roles and locations.
With Leadership Made Real, managers grow into confident, capable leaders—while you stay focused on the bigger picture.
You don't need to design a program or hire a coach. Just sign up, invite your managers, and let Leadership Made Real guide their development—while you track progress from a simple admin dashboard.
Purchase seats and invite your managers to get started in minutes. No setup, no installation—just an Internet connection and a modern browser. Team members can log in with a work or personal email address.
Each manager follows a personalized weekly development plan with curated articles, podcasts, and short videos. Weekly assignments are designed to fit into their actual work—not stack on top of it.
Your admin dashboard shows engagement and growth trends at a glance, so you know who’s on track and where to offer support.
The Payoff? Managers who lead with confidence. Teams that run smoothly. More time for you to focus on strategy instead of firefighting.
Hi, I'm Scott Drake. For 20+ years I’ve led engineering teams and built leadership development systems for high-growth companies.
Again and again, I saw talented people promoted into management—only to struggle because no one showed them how to:
Leadership Made Real solves these challenges with a structured, scalable development system that grows managers on the job—without pulling them away from their teams or slowing your business down.
I’ve used these methods to help hundreds of managers lead with confidence, align their teams, and deliver stronger results. I’d love to help your managers do the same.
Give your managers the structure and support they need to lead with confidence—without adding more to your plate. Everything is built into the rhythm of their workweek, so growth happens alongside real work.

Leadership Made Real™ builds the foundational habits that matter most—right inside the workweek. Each track (Team Lead, Manager, Executive) targets the skills essential for that level, so leaders grow the right capabilities at the right time.
Your managers will tackle dozens of real-world challenges like:
It's simple. Choose the number of seats you want when you sign up. After checkout, your team dashboard lets you invite each manager by email.
They'll get a personalized onboarding link and a plan tailored to their role and leadership level.
You can add more seats at any time as your team grows.
Seats can be reassigned, with a 60-day cooldown to ensure continuity and fair use.
If someone is promoted, you can reset their plan to match their new role—so growth continues without starting over.
Managers make steady progress in about 1-2 hours per week—but it's not a block of time. Lessons are built around short articles, podcasts, and videos that can be reviewed in small bursts throughout the week.
Developmental assignments are applied during real work—team meetings, one-on-ones, or planning sessions—not added on top of it. That means learning happens as they lead, not as a separate task.
No IT involvement required. Everything runs online with no installation or special setup.
Managers can log in from anywhere, on any device with a browser and internet connection.
Yes. Your team dashboard shows usage, engagement, and progress over time. You can see who has activated their plan, how often they're checking in, and how far along they are in their development journey.
While Leadership Made Real is designed for self-directed growth, you'll have the visibility you need to support your team and track progress over time.
No. Leadership Made Real isn't a course and it's not a content dump—it's a structured development system.
Each manager gets a personalized leadership plan tailored to their role and level. Instead of watching hours of video or digging through a resource library, they work through focused lessons and real-world assignments that build confidence, habits, and results over time.
It's leadership development designed for real work—not for the shelf.
No. You can start with one or two managers, see results, and expand at your own pace.
There's no minimum seat count and no pressure to roll it out company-wide.
Leadership Made Real is priced at $25 per seat, per month for up to 100 seats. This keeps it simple and flexible as you test what works for your team.
