3 x 3 Leadership Effectiveness Program

Why It Matters

Most performance problems aren’t caused by a lack of intelligence or effort. They’re caused by conversations that miss what actually matters — unclear ownership, misaligned goals, unresolved tension, and decisions that never quite land.

QuestionGap trains managers to handle those moments differently.

The 3×3 Program is a structured engagement that installs disciplined questioning as a practical leadership skill — one managers can use immediately, under pressure, in real work.

What It Includes

3 Hours of Live Training

A focused, high-engagement workshop that installs a disciplined leadership practice leaders can use immediately.

Participants learn to:

  • interrupt reactive escalation without losing momentum

  • ask precise, non-leading questions

  • recognize what kind of conversation is unfolding

  • move discussions toward clarity and decision without overstepping or retreating

The Day-1 non-negotiable habit:

Pause. Acknowledge. One question. Wait.

This is the foundation. It prevents reactive drift and creates space for judgment.

Over the following three weeks, additional questioning disciplines are layered onto this base — refining stance, sharpening question form, and directing conversations toward alignment and action.

3 Weeks of Guided Practice

Application happens in real work, not simulations.

For three weeks, leaders apply the method directly in:

  • 1:1s and small-group discussions

  • performance and feedback conversations

  • meetings and decision-making

  • moments of conflict or friction

  • everyday coordination and handoffs

The structure is disciplined and simple:

  • one shared focus per day

  • a consistent agenda across participants

  • a brief daily reflection posted internally

This ensures visibility, reinforcement, and behavioral change without adding administrative burden.

3 Hours of Coaching

Each week includes a live debrief built around real situations participants encountered.

Sessions focus on:

  • diagnosing breakdowns in clarity and alignment

  • tightening question discipline

  • correcting predictable failure patterns

  • strengthening composure under pressure

The objective is not theory. It is faster recognition, better judgment, and consistent leadership behavior across situations.

What Leaders Gain

  • More effective high-stakes conversations

  • Reduced escalation and friction

  • Clearer decisions and cleaner execution

  • Stronger alignment across teams

  • Confidence grounded in disciplined judgment

Not through scripts or charisma — but through repeatable leadership practice.

How Depth Is Added

The 3×3 Program is the standard engagement.

For teams that want deeper installation, the work can be extended through a Full-Day Intensive, delivered either as a same-day extension or as a follow-on session.

The intensive emphasizes:

  • real scenarios drawn from participants’ actual work,

  • live diagnosis of conversational breakdowns,

  • and deeper practice across common manager situations.

Many teams choose to tilt this deeper work toward areas where friction shows up most often — such as meetings and decision-making — but configuration is handled through consultation to ensure fit and impact.

Who This Is For

  • Managers and team leaders accountable for others

  • Organizations that want visible behavior change, not communication training

  • Leaders who want clarity, confidence, and forward movement — not more frameworks

Next Step

If the quality of your results depends on the quality of your conversations, this work is a good place to start.

Schedule a conversation to determine fit, scope, and configuration.
