About
Hey, I’m Dave Kline.
I teach leaders how to build All-Star teams and level up their careers.
After decades of leading in pretty intense environments, from Bridgewater Associates to Moody’s Analytics, I know what it takes to be the manager your team remembers (for the right reasons).
Why I can help you is simple:
I’ve been through it.
And to prove it, here’s my background (by the numbers) ⤵️
2: Decades leading high-impact teams in asset management (Bridgewater), consulting (PwC), & financial services (Moody’s Analytics).
4: Years as an entrepreneur. My portfolio includes Skillscouter (an online course & career site), and MGMT Accelerator (a cohort-based management training course).
14: Cohorts of early-career leaders that I’ve taught at multiple companies.
100: Managers I recruited, onboarded & mentored at Bridgewater Associates.
1,000: Performance evaluations with grace and respect for stars and terminations alike.
205,000+: My community across LinkedIn & Twitter interested in management tactics & leadership lessons
385,000,000: My team’s top revenue year at Moody’s.
Now that we’ve covered the why, here’s the how:
- The MGMT Accelerator – an intensive management training course for both new and senior leaders
- MGMT Fundamentals – a course that covers all the need-to-know management basics for rookie leaders
- The MGMT Playbook – a weekly newsletter that gives practical management insights
Through our MGMT courses, my wife Marsden and I have played the assist with over 1,100 leaders so far, who’ve now learned how to:
- Practically tackle the most common leadership challenges
- Build their Management OS’s CODE (Coach, Operate, Delegate, Engage)
- Refine their individual leadership Decision-Making System
With our 30+ years of combined experience, you won’t just get our knowledge.
You’ll get to ask us questions directly and get access to coaching that’s more tailored to your own experience.
We always say – if we could do it like a dinner party, we would.
If you’re interested in leadership advice (that doesn’t just sound nice but actually works), drop me a follow – I post daily.
And if you like what you see, our MGMT courses could be just what you need to level up.
DM me if you’re interested.
