Key facts

About the Certified High Performance Manager certification

The Certified High Performance Manager (CHPM) is an expert-level certification for managers who are ready to stop doing the work themselves and start multiplying results through others. It is built end to end on validated management science: Andy Grove's leverage model of managerial output, Liz Wiseman's Multipliers, Carol Dweck's growth mindset, Bruce Tuckman's stages of team development, Google's Project Aristotle findings on psychological safety, Patrick Lencioni's Five Dysfunctions, Richard Hackman's conditions for team effectiveness, John Doerr's OKRs, the GROW and CLEAR coaching models, the 70-20-10 development model, the Eisenhower matrix and Theory of Constraints, Edgar Schein's model of culture, the Maslach model of burnout, and the change frameworks of Kotter, ADKAR and William Bridges. You will learn to set and cascade goals, run continuous performance conversations and fair calibration, coach and develop talent, prioritise and protect capacity, drive accountability through leading and lagging metrics, build an inclusive and psychologically safe team, lead hybrid and remote teams, steer people through change, and carry yourself with executive presence. The programme is taught with diagrams, decision tools, worked management scenarios and a multi-part capstone lab in which you build a complete high-performance plan for a real team.
