Managers That Suck / Management & improvement

Turn feedback into a better way to manage.

Managers That Suck gives employees, managers, and candidates a structured way to examine management behavior. Its product direction is to make the gap visible and give managers a practical path to improve.

The product idea

Make improvement visible.

The public experience pairs manager and company profiles with behavior-based assessments. Team feedback and self-assessment use the same instrument, so the difference between how a manager sees their work and how others experience it can become a starting point for change.

Inside the platform

01

Assess specific behaviors

The MTS-360 instrument offers a full 110-question assessment and a 19-question quick read across eight categories. Answers consider both the extent of a behavior and its importance to the role.

02

Compare perspectives

Searchable manager profiles bring team and self-assessment into view. Category breakdowns help people identify where attention is needed and what behaviors would help.

03

Plan the next improvement

The manager experience identifies weaker areas and proposes weekly actions and a 30/60/90-day plan. Reassessment gives the product a way to keep attention on improvement over time.

The Crossform connection

What this work brings
to the next problem.

This is the human side of the Crossform story: useful measurement should lead to a decision, a concrete action, and another opportunity to learn. The product translates feedback into an operating loop that people can understand.
