        There isn't a set of books or courses (online/off) that will move you as fast as this course into helping your people be their best. Nothing comes close to this course. It's one of those things that pays dividends and does "compounding interest" for your skills, your career, and whatever teams you may lead.

        MGMT accelerator is chock full of highly actionable, high ROI tactics that are clearly based on years of experience. I particularly appreciated the fast pace and high expectations that were set from the beginning - I feel like it was a great forcing function to kick into another gear. Highly recommend if you're looking for a boost.
