What We're All About ...
In a recent interview, Dana Thompson, TGE's Founder and Chief Transformation Officer, answered the following three most frequently asked questions about TGE.
Question 1
What do you do?
I transform service industry middle managers who feel invisible in their Corporate America roles into the most indispensable people in their organizations.
Right now, 94% of middle managers are doing their jobs well — and going completely unnoticed for it. I give them the one capability that flips that script and makes their results impossible to ignore.
I want every ambitious middle manager, especially Black managers, to have that transformation opportunity, courtesy of our products and coaching. They can get started by checking out our Resources.

Question 2
Why should anyone care?
There are 12.6 million middle managers in Corporate America. Most of them are working harder than ever — and getting less credit than ever. Gallup says employee engagement recently hit its lowest point in over a decade. Forrester found that only 6% of corporate leaders qualify as true transformation leaders.
That gap — between 6% and 94% — is exactly where careers stall. Or where they launch.
For employers, disengaged teams are hemorrhaging money: lost productivity, high turnover, and zero innovation. The fix isn't another HR initiative. It's managers who know how to eliminate waste and ignite their teams — simultaneously.

Question 3
What's the capability?
The capability is Delivering Continuous Improvement — done the right way for real service industry environments, with no Lean Six Sigma certifications required.
My book, Bulletproof Your Manager Career!, is the foundation. But where most books stop, we start. The Manager Elevator app, at ManagerElevator.com, is an AI-powered platform built to make continuous improvement implementation fast, practical, and addictive. It includes the full Leading Bulletproof Continuous Improvement Masterclass, real-time project trackers, and an AI coaching chatbot feature that answers your questions the moment you’re stuck.
In 30 days or less, managers are running their first Waste WAR Battle — a structured team event that cuts workplace waste, spikes engagement, and produces the kind of measurable results that turn heads in performance reviews and promotion conversations.
Those managers stop being overlooked. They start being sought out.
That’s how managers move from the 94% to the 6% — and bulletproof their careers.​
