What if managers were evaluated like quarterbacks?

In this episode of the Love Monday Podcast, I introduce the concept behind the Love Monday Manager QB Rating™ — a new way to think about leadership, employee engagement, and manager effectiveness.

We’ve got stats for athletes, KPIs for businesses, and performance reviews for employees… but almost no meaningful way to evaluate a manager’s ability to actually lead people.

That’s a problem.

Because managers impact nearly everything:

  • Employee engagement
  • Retention
  • Burnout
  • Productivity
  • Customer experience
  • Team culture

Drawing from years of leadership coaching, Gallup research, and real-world management experience, I break down why traditional leadership evaluation misses the mark and why it’s time to raise the standard for managers everywhere.

If managers are responsible for engagement, shouldn’t we start measuring leadership more intentionally?

This episode is the introduction to a bigger conversation about blind spots, coaching, advocacy, accountability, and what it really means to move a team down the field.
