Join the Revolution

Management is dead. 

People development is the new way forward. It’s not a fad; it’s a foundation. Ignore it, and you’ll be left behind. Embrace it, and you’ll be a part of the revolution. Implement it, and you’ll reap incredible benefits.

Let’s move forward. Together.

Management is dead. There's a better way.

Matt Tresidder & Chris Heaslip

Hi, we're Chris Heaslip and Matt Tresidder, the authors of Management is Dead. After building a billion-dollar company together, we've learned a thing or two about the current pain points leaders today are facing.

And we want to share a secret with you: it all ties back to the employee/manager relationship.

But the point of this book isn’t just to tell you the problems with people management. The point is to show you the better way, the future. 

That future is people development.

And this book walks you through the 5 foundations of people development and how to implement them within your organization for a more engaged and effective workforce. 

Do we have your attention?
