Leadership Development Programs in California
Leadership development in California for organizations that are tired of promoting good individual contributors into struggling managers. Reject Mediocrity is an authorized licensee of the John Maxwell Team, led by Ellis Franks — Ironman, ultrarunner, and a former Military Training Instructor of nearly 30 years who has spent his career building leaders in California and beyond.
What Organizations Are Trying To Fix
- A thin bench. No one ready when a key leader leaves, and no plan to change that.
- Managers who were never trained. Promoted on results, handed people, given nothing.
- Inconsistent leadership. Two teams, same company, two completely different experiences of being managed.
- Engagement scores that will not move no matter what the survey vendor recommends.
- Emerging leaders leaving because nobody invested in them before somebody else did.
- Culture written on the wall and contradicted in the hallway.
We have the solutions for every one of those, and we deliver them to your leaders in California rather than shipping you a curriculum and wishing you luck.
Coverage spans all 58 counties in California, from the metro cores to the smaller markets.
Program Formats
- Cohort programs for emerging leaders, run over months rather than a single day.
- Manager foundations for first-time leaders who need the basics done properly.
- Executive team development for the group at the top that sets everybody else's standard.
- Mastermind groups built on John Maxwell material.
- On site in California, remote, or hybrid — whichever keeps more of your people in the room.
The session photographed above was delivered remotely to the number one data engineering team at a Fortune 10 company. Leadership development does not require everyone to be in the same building, which matters for California organizations running across shifts, sites and time zones.
