Most managers were never taught how to lead. They were just promoted.
The research is clear: one-time leadership training fades within weeks. Grove gives managers one evidence-based coaching task every morning so good habits build gradually, not in a two-day offsite they'll forget by Friday.
The system is broken. Not the managers.

Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve
You didn't fail the test. Nobody gave you the test. 60% of new managers are promoted with zero training, and 60% fail within two years. The workshops that do exist? 90% forgotten by Monday. This isn't a talent problem. It's a habit problem. And habits are fixable.
One action. Every morning. That's it.
Leadership is a habit. Grove is the daily practice.
One task. Five minutes. Actually matters.
Each morning, Grove gives you one concrete leadership action: not a module, not a course. Tailored to your team, backed by research, with the exact script to use. You do the work. Grove tracks whether it's landing.
Stop guessing how your team feels.
Forget annual surveys that arrive after the damage is done. Grove's 60-second pulse check gives your team a safe, anonymous way to say how they're really doing, and gives you a live signal on psychological safety, autonomy, and connection. The longer you go without a meaningful interaction, the more that score fades.
Show up. Watch it compound.
The reason every other leadership program fails: it's not rewarding. Grove turns consistency into a game with streaks, mystery boxes, mini games, and a garden that grows when you do. Same research Duolingo used. Applied to the thing that actually matters.
90 days. Measurable change.
We baseline your leadership. We show you the delta.
Psychological Safety
Leader Relationship
Improvement, for managers who show up daily
Founding cohort data: 80%+ task completion, 90-day window, measured using the Edmondson Psychological Safety Scale. This is what daily action produces. Join the next cohort →
Your garden tells the story of your leadership.
Complete tasks daily and watch your garden flourish. Miss a few days and it starts to wither. It's a living reflection of your consistency.
14+ day active streak
Rich colors, flowers blooming, butterflies visiting
3+ days missed
Bare ground, faded plants, dry soil
"Your garden is a mirror of your consistency. What do you want it to reflect?"
Your managers are why your engagement scores aren't moving.
Not because they're bad managers. Because nobody gave them a daily system. Grove is that system, and it comes with the data to prove it's working.
Engagement Decay Scoring
A live health score for every manager-employee relationship, updated continuously with a built-in decay model. See which relationships are Connected, which are Fading, and which are at risk before the exit interview tells you what you missed.
90-Day Delta Reports
Baseline and track psychological safety, autonomy, and leader-team relationship scores across 90 days. The exportable PDF is built for leadership reviews and board decks. This is how you prove ROI on your culture investment.
Early Engagement Alerts
Automated alerts surface patterns that need attention, including sudden engagement drops, survey response anomalies, and relationship score declines, so your HR team can act early instead of inheriting a crisis. Delivered as a digest, not a fire drill.

We built Grove because leadership development is broken.
The $100 billion leadership development industry has a dirty secret: 90% of what it teaches is forgotten within a week. Seminars, workshops, and courses create awareness. They don't create habits. And habits are the only thing that changes behavior.
Grove is built for the 80% of managers who never get access to executive coaches or week-long retreats. First-time managers. Team leads. People who were great at their jobs and got promoted into something nobody prepared them for. One task a day. Five minutes. That's the whole system.
Simple habits build culture.
Start free. Scale when you're ready.
Leaders adopt it. Teams expand it. HR buys it.
