Leadership Team Coaching & Alignment
Unify your leadership team so your business hits its numbers, with fewer missteps.
Leadership doesn't have to be complicated. When every manager knows their role and pulls in the same direction, your business achieves its goals—and you get your time back. Here's how I help business owners align their teams and lead with confidence.
Give every manager the same expectations, language, and leadership tools—so your business runs smoother and scales faster.
When every manager has their own definition of "good management," the business suffers. One manager enforces standards, another looks the other way. Teams pull in different directions, conflict rises, and owners get dragged back into escalations.
Frameworks like EOS® or Scaling Up give companies structure, but they don't teach managers how to be "good" managers. That's where Manager Performance Alignment comes in. I help owners align managers around the same standards, language, and leadership toolbox so they run their teams consistently.
What You Gain
"Scott gets teams to a baseline fast, and gets every manager aligned quickly. I haven't seen anything as effective."
—Terri M., Investor and Business Advisor
Set clear expectations and agreements early—so new leaders earn credibility and avoid costly mistakes.
Most new managers are promoted with a handshake and hope. Without clear expectations, they cling to old habits, struggle to delegate, or hesitate to hold people accountable. Teams get frustrated—and you're stuck firefighting.
I help owners set expectations early, define clear agreements, and guide new managers through their first 90 days. With the right support, they earn credibility quickly and lead with confidence—avoiding costly trial and error.
What You Gain
"Scott's program helped me orient myself to my new role quickly. I still review the lessons from time to time to re-energize myself and find better ways to serve my team. I cannot recommend him enough."
—Phillip B., Director
Reset expectations, rebuild confidence, and turn performance around—without starting over.
When a manager struggles, everything slows down—expectations slip, momentum stalls, and more problems land back on your desk. Owners often feel stuck between two bad options: replace the manager and start over, or tolerate the frustration and hope things improve.
That's where a reset comes in. Instead of replacing good talent or sending them to generic training, I work directly with owners and managers to clarify roles, reset agreements, and realign expectations. With the right reset, managers lead with confidence, owners reclaim time, and the business moves forward again.

"Scott is the one who finally made leadership 'click' for me."

Real-world leadership experience. A practical approach built for high-stakes moments.
Hi, I'm Scott Drake. I've spent 30 years leading teams and training leaders—from Microsoft and Silicon Valley startups to executive roles in fast-growing medical education and workforce companies. Across these roles I learned firsthand what happens when managers aren't aligned, and how quickly growth can stall if leaders don't step up.
Today, I help business owners and executives who need their managers working from the same playbook. My approach is fast, practical, and built for high-stakes moments—not theory or generic training. I help owners get managers clear on their roles, unify leadership teams, and reset leaders when growth is at risk. The result is stronger managers, less firefighting, and a business that hits the numbers you've already committed to.
When growth goals can't slip, I help owners build the leadership layer they can rely on.
"Scott blends a certainty about leadership with a very genuine, connecting way he went about it. I rarely find that blend. Sometimes trainers are way too much on that process side of things, and then there are people who are smart and likable, but it's so nebulous that it's hard to translate into action for others. Man did he just hit this sweet spot in the middle."
—Rich H., Exec. VP
