Dave Kline

Become the Leader You’d Follow | Founder @ MGMT | Coach | Advisor | Speaker | Trusted by 250K+ leaders.

Hey, I’m Dave Kline.

I teach leaders how to build All-Star teams and level up their careers.

After decades of leading in pretty intense environments, from Bridgewater Associates to Moody’s Analytics, I know what it takes to be the manager your team remembers (for the right reasons).

Why I can help you is simple:

I’ve been through it.

And to prove it, here’s my background (by the numbers) ⤵️

2: Decades leading high-impact teams in asset management (Bridgewater), consulting (PwC), & financial services (Moody’s Analytics).

4: Years as an entrepreneur. My portfolio includes Skillscouter (an online course & career site), and MGMT Accelerator (a cohort-based management training course).

14: Cohorts of early-career leaders that I’ve taught at multiple companies.

100: Managers I recruited, onboarded & mentored at Bridgewater Associates.

1,000: Performance evaluations with grace and respect for stars and terminations alike.

205,000+: My community across LinkedIn & Twitter interested in management tactics & leadership lessons

385,000,000: My team’s top revenue year at Moody’s.

Now that we’ve covered the why, here’s the how:

- The MGMT Accelerator – an intensive management training course for both new and senior leaders
- MGMT Fundamentals – a course that covers all the need-to-know management basics for rookie leaders
- The MGMT Playbook – a weekly newsletter that gives practical management insights

Through our MGMT courses, my wife Marsden and I have played the assist with over 1,100 leaders so far, who’ve now learned how to:

- Practically tackle the most common leadership challenges
- Build their Management OS’s CODE (Coach, Operate, Delegate, Engage)
- Refine their individual leadership Decision-Making System

With our 30+ years of combined experience, you won’t just get our knowledge.

You’ll get to ask us questions directly and get access to coaching that’s more tailored to your own experience.

We always say – if we could do it like a dinner party, we would.

If you’re interested in leadership advice (that doesn’t just sound nice but actually works), drop me a follow – I post daily.

And if you like what you see, our MGMT courses could be just what you need to level up.

DM me if you’re interested.

Co-Founder

We created the MGMT Accelerator to help managers rapidly develop into trusted leaders by combining the art & science of management. 

This 4-week program consistents of eight 90-minute modules where I share the tactics I learned leading high-performing teams for 25 years. During each session, we tailor those insights together to build your personalized management system together. 

You'll learn alongside ~50 peers and become part of an expert community of more than 300 alums.

The soft skills are sometimes the hardest.

Which is why they're so valuable.

Think about the best person you worked with.
- The one who quietly set the standard.
- The one who made everyone else better. 
- The one you'd want to bring with you.

What made them stand out?

Yes, they were good at their job. 
But there was something more.

It was how they showed up. 

4 Underrated Career Skills:

1. Raise the Energy of the Room
→ Make others feel more capable, not less
→ Add enthusiasm when it's absent
→ Choose optimism

2. Be Enjoyable to Work With
→ Create calm in chaos
→ Blend excellence with enjoyment
→ Become everyone's "go-to" resource

3. Keep Your Commitments
→ Replace "I'll try" with "I will"
→ Build trust through reliable delivery 
→ Promise carefully, deliver consistently

4. Lead Regardless of Title
→ Tackle the problems others avoid

The truth about these skills:

They're 100% your choice.
Only 1% do all 4.

And that's your opportunity.

Simple ≠ Easy
That's why it works.

And yes, AI is changing everything. 
Including making these skills more valuable.

What do I want to be when I grow up?

Most people never answer this question.

And it costs them everything.

- Years spent in jobs that drain them.
- Promotions they chase but don't actually want.
- Sundays filled with dread instead of anticipation.

Here's the uncomfortable truth:

Most people drift through their careers hoping clarity will arrive.

It doesn't.

You wake up at 35, 45, 55 wondering how you got here.
Wondering why you feel successful on paper but empty in reality.
Wondering if it's too late to change course.

The cost of not answering this question:

You optimize for what others value
-> Not what you value.

You build skills that impress people
-> But don't fulfill you.

You climb the ladder
-> That's leaning against the wrong wall.

You spend decades becoming excellent at work that doesn't matter to you.

And here's what makes it worse:

You know something's off.
You feel the misalignment.
But you don't how to do anything about it.

Because figuring out what you want feels impossible.

But it's not impossible. 
It's just work.

It's a project you attack like any other.

The question "What do I want?" is answerable.

It requires confronting truths the most people ignore.
It requires honest self-reflection that most people avoid.
It requires being intentional when drifting feels much easier.

The work:

You need to understand where your energy actually goes.
You need to identify what work energizes vs. drains you.
You need to uncover your unique combination of strengths.
You need to define your non-negotiables.
You need to articulate multiple paths forward.

This isn't a weekend exercise. 
It's an ongoing practice.

But 30 minutes of guided self-reflection beats 30 years of drifting.

[Swipe through the carousel for 5 AI prompts that guide this reflection]

AI won't tell you what you want.

But it will help you see patterns you're missing.
Ask questions you haven't fully considered.
Clarify options you didn't know existed.

The brutal truth:

No one is coming to save you from a career you drifted into.

Your company won't hand you a personalized path.
Your manager won't figure this out for you.
Time won't magically create clarity.

You have to do the work.

Be intentional.
Ask hard questions.
Demand honest answers from yourself.

Because the alternative is spending the next decade wondering "what if?"

Share this if you're ready to stop drifting and start deciding.

Follow Dave Kline for more on building a career with intention.

What do you want to be when you grow up? 
It's time to find out.
