WORLD CLASS TRAINING

 Work isn’t failing because people don’t care. It’s failing because we’re still leading with outdated assumptions about motivation, performance, and control.

Employees feel the disconnect. Leaders feel the pressure. Organizations pay the price—in burnout, disengagement, turnover, and stalled results.


The Real Problem


Most workplaces are still operating inside a management system built for a different era—one focused on compliance, control, and extracting output rather than developing people.


This model assumes:

  • People only perform well when tightly managed
  • Accountability requires pressure and enforcement
  • Performance problems are individual failures, not leadership signals 


So when results slip, we respond predictably:

  • More rules
  • More monitoring
  • More performance improvement plans 

And almost never do we ask the hardest question:


How is our leadership contributing to the problem?


Why Engagement Stays Low

Employee engagement hasn’t been “mysteriously” low for decades—it’s been systematically designed that way.

When people don’t feel trusted, valued, or connected, they disengage quietly. They comply. They coast. They do just enough.


The issue isn’t effort.


It’s the environment.


A Better Way to Lead

Devin’s training programs help leaders unlearn outdated leadership habits and replace them with modern, research-backed practices that drive both performance and well-being.

Grounded in neuroscience, positive psychology, and organizational research, these trainings focus on trust, accountability, belonging, clarity, and sustainable performance.


Better leadership doesn’t start with fixing people.


It starts with redesigning how we lead.
