Stop training "professional administrators." We build Unicorn Leaders—managers who master strategy, innovation, and execution so you can stop putting out fires.
Most programs stop at "Team Management." They create administrators. We add the missing piece: Strategy & Innovation. We teach your managers to think like Founders.
🦄Where all three overlap = Unicorn Leader

The "Knowledge" Layer
12 modules built for startup & scale-up reality. No MBA fluff. Real frameworks your managers use Monday morning.
The "Practice" Layer
12 live group coaching sessions with your team only. Real scenarios, real role-plays, real accountability.
The "Awareness" Layer
Personalized strengths profiles so each manager knows exactly where to double down and where to grow.
The "Community" Layer
Access to the alumni network and ongoing peer-to-peer learning. The growth doesn't stop at week 12.
Step 01
We analyze your current state using Team Dynamics and eNPS scores.
Step 02
Gather your managers for a high-energy launch. Set the "North Star," assign cohorts, generate excitement.
Step 03
Managers commit 1.5 hours/module. Watch the video, do the work, attend the live coaching session.
Step 04
Lifetime access to the library, templates, and SOPs. Your managers keep the toolkit forever.
The diagnostic is typically completed within one week. We run a short survey with your team and a 60-minute debrief call with the leader — that's it.
Every manager in the program. The kickoff is where energy gets built and expectations get set — missing it means starting on the back foot. We recommend all-hands attendance.
Life happens. All modules and coaching recordings are available on-demand, so no one gets left behind. Our coaches also flag low-engagement managers early so you can course-correct.
Every manager gets permanent access to all 12 modules, 50+ templates, and SOPs — even after they leave your company. It's theirs. That's intentional: great managers remember where they learned.
Each level builds on the last. Skip one and the whole system breaks.

The foundation everything else is built on.
If your team won't speak up, nothing else works. Psychological safety isn't about being "nice" — it's about creating an environment where people take risks, challenge ideas, and surface problems before they become disasters.
Getting out of your own way so the team can move.
The bottleneck is almost always at the top. Empowerment is about creating clear decision rights — who owns what, what decisions need escalation, and what decisions people should just make. The result? A team that acts, not waits.
Productive conflict over polite agreement.
Most teams optimize for harmony when they should be optimizing for truth. Great communication isn't about everyone getting along — it's about the best idea winning, regardless of title or tenure. That requires frameworks, not just goodwill.
Turning a group of managers into a team of leaders.
Having strong individual managers isn't enough. You need them operating as a cohesive leadership team — aligned on norms, holding each other accountable, and rowing in the same direction. Culture is what happens when the founder isn't in the room.
Beyond just "hitting the number."
People don't stay and give their best because of compensation alone. They stay because their work means something. Purpose is how you connect the daily grind to something worth getting out of bed for — and how managers communicate that connection every week, not just at the all-hands.
Aligning the "North Star" for speed across the whole org.
A team without a shared vision makes a thousand small decisions that pull in different directions. Vision & Strategy is how you ensure every team — from engineering to sales — is oriented toward the same winning aspiration, and understands how they fit into the plan to get there.

The Enterprise Leadership Development Program by Unicorn Labs is a 12-week cohort-based program that builds high-performing managers at growth-stage companies. It combines purpose-built modules, live group coaching sessions, strengths assessments, and a peer learning network. The program is built on the Six Levels of High-Performing Teams framework and is designed specifically for Series A–C companies across North America.
The program runs 12 weeks with approximately 30 hours of total coursework. Managers commit approximately 1.5 hours per module — watching the video, completing the work, and attending the live cohort coaching session. It begins with a diagnostic using Team Dynamics and eNPS scores, followed by a kickoff session, the 12-week sprint, and lifetime access to all modules, 50+ templates, and SOPs after completion.
Unicorn Labs clients report 96% improvement in strategy, 89% in execution, and 87% in innovation across their management teams. Coaching outcomes show 86% of clients report solid ROI, 80% see an increase in self-confidence, and 70% benefit from improved work performance. The program comes with a 100% money-back guarantee — if you or your team members are unsatisfied by the leadership transformation, you receive a full refund.
Cohort-based learning accelerates development through shared discussion, peer accountability, and structured content. Managers learn from the material and from each other — driving stronger relationships and practical application. One-on-one coaching is available separately through Unicorn Labs for founders and executives.

Fahd Alhattab has led teams of 150+, built startups, and trained over 100,000 leaders across North America. He developed the Six Levels of High-Performing Teams framework — the foundation of the program — by synthesizing research from Google's Project Aristotle, Amy Edmondson's psychological safety work, and years of direct experience with fast-growth tech companies.
All modules and coaching recordings are available on-demand, so no one gets left behind. Unicorn Labs coaches also flag low-engagement managers early so leaders can course-correct before it becomes a problem.
