What you can expect

Each issue is a practical article drawn from work with leadership teams, organised around three themes:

• Strategy: making direction clear, measurable and adaptable, and keeping it that way as the business changes.

• Operations: reducing friction, setting sensible governance and using automation where it helps, so strategy has a chance to work.

• Mentoring: judgement, perspective, and helping people understand their part in the system.

Articles come with diagnostic questions, frameworks and examples you can take into your next leadership meeting. Series such as Debt Beyond Code, which maps the organisational debts that build up outside the codebase, follow a single idea across several issues.

Alongside the articles, expect occasional news about Mantage's guides, tools and services.

Who it's for

Founders, directors and senior leaders in businesses of up to around 100 people, especially those moving from a startup way of working to something more structured. If you're the one holding the plan together, this is written for you.
