Your managers went to the training.
Ninety days later, what changed?
If you cannot answer that with a number, you did not buy development. You bought an event. Tandem measures fifteen leadership behaviors before your managers start and again ninety days after they finish, and we put the result in writing.
Thirty minutes. We will tell you where your managers are losing behavior transfer, and whether we are the right answer or not.
If your team’s composite score does not improve at ninety days and you have met the participation conditions, we run another full coaching cycle at no cost.
You have already paid for training that did not stick.
Not because it was bad. Because nobody measured the only thing that mattered.
The invoice cleared. The feedback scores came back positive. Then someone in a leadership meeting asked what actually changed, and the honest answer was that you could not say. Six weeks after the workshop, the same managers were running the same conversations the same way.
The cost does not appear on that invoice. It shows up when a good person resigns and names their manager on the way out. When a decision that should take a day takes three weeks. When you bring the next development budget forward and the first question back is what the last one bought.
Training alone
Share of learning that reaches on-the-job application.
Training plus coaching
The same content, reinforced. This gap is the entire argument.
Baldwin & Ford (1988); Joyce & Showers (synthesized); Olivero, Bane & Kopelman (1997).
The workshop is not the product. The ninety days after it are.
A manager can learn to delegate on a Tuesday and take the task back on Thursday, because Thursday is busy and doing it themselves is faster. LongitudinaLearning puts a coach in that gap.
Learn
Evidence-based content that builds new thinking.
Understand
Tools and assessments that deepen self-awareness.
Apply
Real practice in conversations already on the calendar.
Reinforce
Coaching and feedback embed the new behavior.
Measure
The Manager Effectiveness Index proves what moved.
You get a number. You get it three times.
Fifteen specific behaviors across five dimensions, scored by each manager’s own boss. Not a satisfaction survey. Not attendance. Fifteen things a manager either did or did not do in the last thirty days.
01 Clear Expectations
Does work start with a defined outcome?
02 Coaching Conversations
Asking, or just answering?
03 Delegation
Handing off, or taking it back?
04 Accountability
Do commitments get followed up?
05 Feedback & Trust
Early and specific, or late and vague?
The Manager Performance Cohort
One capability. Up to seven managers. Measured before, at the end, and ninety days later. This is the engagement most clients start with, and the only one that carries the guarantee.
One capability, measured three times
Up to seven managers, fully virtual, eight to twelve weeks. Pricing and multi-cohort rates are on the cohort page.
- Manager Effectiveness Index at three points
- One leadership capability, full TandemTools access
- Facilitated coaching sessions, live every two weeks
- Executive debrief with measured results
- The Ninety-Day Behavior Change Guarantee
Fewer than five managers?
Individual courses and category pathways use the same TandemTools platform and the same coaching reinforcement, priced per leader. Measurement and the guarantee need a cohort large enough to produce a stable score.
Something else entirely?
Executive coaching, leadership versatility, change management and culture work all run as bespoke engagements. The diagnostic call is where we figure out which one you actually need.

I started with the thought that I was going to learn how to communicate like a leader. Instead I learned how to lead.

I am a veteran manager… The structure and support of this program was so helpful for me and I am already installing some of my learnings with my team.

Jan creates a relaxed and informal atmosphere where I feel very comfortable sharing insights and personal stories. She does not judge and instead reflects our thoughts back on us in a very effective way.

The people who will actually be in the room.
Every session is live and led by one of these coaches. Nobody hands your managers a recording and calls it development.

Works with senior leaders and executive teams on strategy, transformation and merger integration.
Twenty five years across strategy consulting, venture capital and running businesses.
Sustainable change through better communication, stronger process and human-centered leadership.
Corporate leadership, university teaching, entrepreneurship and innovation.
Decades of healthcare leadership, now coaching senior and emerging leaders.
Owns the commitment that every engagement is measured and every client can see exactly what changed.
We will tell you on the first call if this is wrong for you.
A fit if you have
- Managers who lead people directly
- A senior leader willing to spend ninety minutes on it
- A specific problem: accountability, late feedback, managers who solve instead of coach
- Growth, restructuring or a succession gap putting pressure on the middle
- A real willingness to be measured
Not a fit if you need
- Compliance or mandated training
- A one-day offsite or a keynote
- Development for individual contributors rather than people managers
- A program no senior leader will stand behind
- Results before the quarter closes
It costs us both less to find out now than in month three.
Ask your current provider one question.
What did my managers do differently ninety days later, and how do you know? If they cannot answer it, you already know what that program was worth. We answer it in writing, before you sign.
