Anniversaries. Don’t you love ’em? Management Skills Blog just celebrated five years of publishing. Captured an ice-cold Guinness with a clover leaf in the foam.
Our Next Project
For five years, we have been working with business owners and managers on how to create more effective organizations. It is time to release our next project. Go check out Working Leadership Online. During this past year, every couple of weeks, we recruited ten volunteers to help us test our platform, slowly creating a powerful online learning system. The pilot phase is over.
To load the system, we reserved 200 annual memberships, now available for $100.
What We Know
- Our participants have a day job, as a manager.
- Our participants are really busy.
- Our participants want to be more effective, now.
This is Real
Working Leadership Online is practical. There are no quizzes or tests. There is no make-work. This is not extra work. The Field Work is real.
At Your Pace

Unforgettable
The problem with most training programs is they stop. After a few classes, it’s over, good luck. Working Leadership Online goes year-round. It changes the way you think about your role as a manager.
How This Works
Go to Working Leadership Online. Follow the FREE TRIAL link. Your first Subject Area is on us. Then you decide. We are holding the first 200 memberships. Word is already on the street, so we expect to close this offer in the next few days.
Here’s Some Feedback
This program is anti-matter to today’s barage of costly management solutions. The program covered a great deal of critical leadership material that managers can immediately benefit from. -Cathy Darby
Some people live online and I’m not one of them. I’d much rather be in a human presence. Having said that, after Tom’s first response he won me over. His honesty and feedback is invaluable. -Jane Hein
There’s a lot of valuable information in this course that isn’t easily available elsewhere, and the coaching from Tom in addition to accountability for actually carrying out the assignments makes for a solid learning experience. Keep up the good work. The online format makes the course accessible, and makes it easy to put into practice directly in a work environment. -Erik LaBianca
Your Investment
$100 for an annual membership ($8.33 per month). If your company won’t pay for it, maybe you should. Looking forward to seeing you online.
