Bad Managers are too expensive To ignore 1
a man pointing at a computer screen

You Know Exactly Which Manager I'm Talking About

The one who just lost you Maria. And Mike. And now Jessica’s putting in her two weeks.

All from the same department. All good people who’d been with you for years.

But here’s what keeps you up at 3am…

This is the invisible attrition tax. It’s the cost of poor management you’ve never been able to put a dollar figure on, until now.

Maria’s replacement cost: $60,000-$120,000

Mike’s replacement cost: $60,000-$120,000

Jessica’s replacement cost: $60,000-$120,000

Total damage from one bad manager: $180,000-$360,000 (and that’s just the direct cost)

And you still haven’t fixed the root problem. You’ve got 8 other managers who could easily become the next problem.

Who’s watching them? Who’s teaching them how to actually lead people instead of just hitting numbers?

Right now you’re playing whack-a-mole – fixing one crisis while three more are brewing. All while the attrition tax is bleeding your budget.

You need your managers to actually know how to manage before they cost you the next Maria, the next Mike, the next Jessica.

Because the real question isn’t just “How do I fix this manager?” It’s “How do I make sure I never have another manager like this again

📊 THE REAL COST OF WHAT JUST HAPPENED

When an employee leaves, the cost goes far beyond their replacement salary. The problem manager who just lost you Maria, Mike, and Jessica didn’t just cost you $180,000-$360,000 in direct replacement costs. The true cost to your company is far greater. Research shows you’re also losing:

Lost Productivity: It takes up to 1-2 years for a new employee to reach the same productivity level as a high-performing employee who has left. (Source: Qualtrics)

Widespread Burnout: Remaining employees often bear the burden of additional work, leading to increased stress and a higher risk of further turnover. (Source: PeopleKeep)

Team Morale: Your remaining team members are picking up the slack, burning out, and quietly wondering if they should leave next.

Lost Institutional Knowledge: A staggering 42% of a company’s institutional knowledge resides solely with individual employees, meaning their departure can leave gaping holes in critical processes. (Source: Rev.com)

This isn’t just about a single replacement cost; it’s about the ripple effect that costs U.S. businesses $1.8 trillion annually in lost productivity alone. (Source: HubSpot)

We Know Exactly What You’re Going Through

Every month we have multiple conversations with executives dealing with the aftermath of managers whose leadership approach has cost them great employees.

They all face the same difficult choice: get these managers some help or let them go.

They reach out to us because they are tired of the drama and out of options.

Sound familiar?

Here’s What Most Companies Don’t Realize

You’ll spend more time debating the leadership development budget than you’ll lose to one more good employee walking out the door.

The Math That Keeps CFOs Up at Night:

What Smart Companies Do: They realize leadership development isn’t a training expense – it’s insurance against much larger replacement costs.

Like the Joint Staff, who saved over $70,000 annually by getting ahead of the problem instead of constantly reacting to it.

The Question Every Executive Should Ask: How many more Marias, Mikes, and Jessicas can you afford to lose while hoping your managers figure it out on their own?

Sound familiar?

Maybe your managers aren’t toxic – they’re just stuck. Good people doing their best with outdated approaches.

We help solid managers become great leaders who drive engagement, productivity, and retention.

An Easy Recommendation
Keith Fore, HR Specialist
Based on the comprehensive range of services, personalized attention, and transformative outcomes witnessed through the positive feedback from participants, I am confident in recommending Arrington Coaching to other agencies. The ASCEND Executive Leadership Development program's ability to drive holistic development, enhance leadership skills, and inspire a lifelong commitment to growth makes it an easy recommendation.
Tools to work more collaboratively
Nichele Hardy, HR Manager
David gave us tools to discuss things collaboratively and learn how to see and acknowledge others' perspectives. We are very grateful for being able to take what we learned and apply it to our everyday situations.
Refreshing, Relevant and Personal
Carmen G., Learning & Development Specialist
The impact was almost immediate. We saw employees stepping up with more confidence, communicating more clearly, and thinking more intentionally about how they lead. Several folks shared how refreshing it was to be part of something that felt so relevant and personal.
Helping us Build a Strong Leadership Pipeline
Lynn Amann, Director of Operations
We partnered with David Arrington for executive coaching to help us build a strong leadership pipeline for the future growth of our company. Within a short period, we began to reap the benefits of his positive and professional coaching style. We consider him a valuable resource to help aid us in the growth of our executives.
Overwhelmingly Positive
Tia Price, Senior Director Organization Development and Talent Management
It's been great to work with Arrington Coaching because we do not have a training team. David works so quickly - I can just call and say 'I need this' and he has the content or will customize it for our group. It's been a tremendous help and benefit.
Tremendous Help & Benefit
Amanda, VP, Human Resources
We received overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants. The content was well-crafted, focusing on practical leadership tools that help align managers across our organization.

What we consistently see: Managers who complete our programs become the leaders other managers want to learn from.

Why Organizations Choose Us Over Industry Giants​

Whether you’re working with problem managers or developing good ones into great leaders, your options can feel limited: cheap online courses most people abandon, enterprise solutions that cost more than your annual training budget, or scattered one-off sessions without any systematic approach.

The big names charge enterprise prices for enterprise complexity. You don’t need (or want) either.

We’re your L&D partner – extending your training capacity with leadership development that actually works, without the enterprise budgets or year-long implementations.

What Our Current Clients are Saying

Refreshing Approach!
Jon Covert
Very impressed by the positive, humanist framework to leadership. (Positing “ethical” cooperation — imagine that!) Also, no personality tests, trademarked jargon, or other organizational pseudo science. Doesn’t feel like a scripted TED Talk — it feels like David just really knows his stuff.
Practical Insights for Effective Leadership
Lisa Gu
This course provided valuable tactical knowledge on the distinctions of leadership, but more importantly, it clarified how leaders should effectively function within those differences. The content was helpful in solidifying my own working knowledge, and I believe it will be especially beneficial for individuals stepping into leadership roles for the first time. An insightful and practical learning experience!
High Performance Instruction
Scott Davis
I liked very much the layout of the course and how it built upon team building and how you as leader must bring out the best in the team members and hold the not performing accountable.
Excellent Course! Excellent Content!
Gabrielle Bradway
I highly recommend this course for current leaders/supervisors or those working their way up to leadership roles. The content is presented in a logical manner and is applicable to all careers.
Improving Leadership Skills!
Christopher Musel
I truly enjoyed this course material; I am walking away with new concepts to enhance and foster a positive working environment for peer accountability to ensure our team helps each other to succeed and win together mindset.
Great Course
Christina Carter
Dr. Arrington was engaging and very knowledgeable. The course material was easy to follow along and understand.

Frequently Asked Questions

LinkedIn Learning costs $40/month with 20,000+ courses and 15% completion rates. You're paying to waste time searching through mediocre content, lead magnets disguised as training, and courses people abandon halfway through.

Even if your managers finish a course, there's no guidance on which skills to prioritize or how to apply what they learned.

We deliver 95% completion rates starting at $60/month because we combine expert-created courses with AI coaching and human support. You get:

  • Courses built by Dr. Arrington (doctorate-level expert, 18+ years experience)
  • AI coaching trained on proven leadership methodology
  • Guaranteed human support with response times
  • Structured delivery that ensures completion, not just access
  • Progress tracking to prove ROI

If you need immediate help with a crisis manager situation, schedule a consultation today. We offer executive coaching and consulting to address urgent leadership issues right now - within days, not months.

Our training programs are designed for sustainable, long-term leadership development. Many clients start with immediate coaching and consulting to stop the bleeding, then implement our structured training to prevent future problems.

Think of it as: Coaching and consulting fix today's crisis. Training prevents tomorrow's crisis.

Our minimum is 3 people because leadership development works best when there's a cohort effect - leaders learning and growing together creates accountability and shared language across your organization.

If you have fewer than 3 people, we recommend waiting until you can include more managers, or consider our executive coaching services which can be designed for smaller teams.

Schedule a call to discuss the right approach for your team size.

Absolutely! You can upgrade at any time and the changes take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at your next billing cycle to ensure you get full value from your current plan. Many organizations start with Essential to test the waters, then upgrade to Impact or Enterprise as they see results and want more advanced features.

We're designed to extend your L&D capacity, not replace it. Whether you have a full L&D team or you're wearing the training hat yourself, we provide the specialized leadership development expertise and content you need without the overhead of building it in-house.

AI coaching trained exclusively on Dr. Arrington's methodology to help with:

  • Difficult conversation planning
  • Team conflict resolution
  • Performance management guidance
  • Meeting facilitation techniques
  • Coaching team members

For complex situations, our guaranteed email support gets you expert human guidance within 24-48 hours.

Most clients see leadership behavior changes within 30 days because our approach combines learning with immediate application support.

We track:

  • 95%+ completion rates (vs. 15% industry average)
  • Course progress and engagement across your team
  • Individual learning milestones and certificates earned
  • Progress reports you can share with stakeholders to demonstrate training investment

While we can't measure business impact directly, you'll have clear data showing your managers are actually completing their leadership development - something most training programs can't demonstrate. 

Beyond tracking, clients report improved team morale, higher engagement, increased ownership, and fewer 'people problems' that waste your valuable management time.

Still Losing Sleep Over Your Leadership Crisis?

Let’s talk about what’s not working—and how we can fix it. This free discovery call is designed to give you clarity and options, not a sales pitch.
