High Performance Leadership Playbook for New and First-Line Leaders

Adam Griffin

High performance leadership coach.

Become a transformative leader. By design.

You were a high performing IC, so you were rewarded with a leadership role.

But now?

Those same IC skills are mostly irrelevant. You're tasked with leading, not doing. Yet it feels more like drowning.

Under-performing direct reports. Multiple demanding cross-functional initiatives. Buffering the pressure from the top. Managing the stress from the team. Back to back meetings, all day everyday.

"Is this what I signed up for?" on repeat in your mind.

Here's what no one tells you when you move into a leadership role...

What got you here won't get you where you want to go.

Great leaders have an operating system. A playbook. A rhythm. A method.

And that operating system is what turns them from a good leader into a transformational one.

In this course, you'll build your own personal leadership playbook that does just that.

What you’ll learn

After taking this course, students will have a playbook for leading a high performing and happy team, by design.

  • Build trust and unlock potential in every interaction using a proven coaching framework that replaces guesswork with a repeatable system

  • Learn how to read what each person actually needs, and adapt your leadership style to accelerate their growth

  • Create a culture where people feel seen, challenged, and invested in, so your best talent stops leaving

  • Design clear standards and communication rhythms so your team executes consistently without constant hand-holding

  • Run meetings that actually move the needle, and eliminate the ones that waste everyone's time

  • Develop the leadership flywheel that compounds team performance week over week

  • Learn a simple assessment process to prioritize the right initiatives before committing your team's energy

  • Use structured tools to spot what's broken and fix it fast

  • Build an execution system that gives you full visibility without micromanaging every detail

  • Audit where your time and energy are actually going, and redesign your week around your highest leverage activities

  • Use the 70/30 principle to protect your focus while still showing up fully for your team

  • Develop the personal operating rhythms that separate reactive managers from truly high-performance leaders
