See whether leadership development and manager training show up at work
To know whether leadership development and manager training work, look at how managers lead afterward. Parafoil compares how a cohort leads in real meetings before and after a program, against managers who didn't take part, and gives every manager private feedback so development continues between programs.
Why Parafoil

What you're up against
- You can't see how well people are implementing what you taught them.
- Feedback waits for the quarterly check-in, and then it's stale.
- Every budget cycle, you defend a program with a satisfaction score.

How does our leadership mix compare with what we're aiming for?
More consulting than deciding
Managers lead mostly through Democratic and Easy Going styles. The styles they're aiming for are Decisive and Coaching.
Coaching is closing the gap this quarter. Decisive hasn't moved.
Based on meetings analyzed across 50+ managers, this quarter.
Private by design. Every leader's feedback is theirs alone, and the organization sees teams, never individuals.

Questions
What people ask us
How do I know if a leadership program is working?
Pick the cohort. Parafoil compares how those managers led in the twelve weeks before the program with the weeks after, against comparable managers who didn't take part, and reports the difference with its uncertainty.
Do managers have to do anything extra?
No. They run their meetings as usual, and feedback arrives in Slack, in Claude or ChatGPT, and before their next 1:1.
Will I see how individual managers did?
No. Program results are for the group. Each manager keeps their own feedback, privately.
