When we started Rallyday, we sought to create a new kind of private equity firm built for founders, by founders. We focus on those founders and leadership team members in our work every day, and in our Rallyday Architecture Program (RAP). While this work at the leadership level is essential, we also want to empower more than just our CEOs and leadership teams.

While culture is often set at the top of a company org chart, it is lived by the frontline team members who spend the most time interacting with customers and clients. While executives are the focus of many leadership development programs (for good reason!), many emerging leaders on the frontlines are aching for learning and development opportunities that can transform the trajectories of their careers and lives. After all, aren’t we all just emerging leaders until someone unlocks or inspires us to become a leader?

Research supports the idea that frontline team members are seeking opportunities for growth and are worth investing in! See some interesting research from BCG and McKinsey.

RallyGrow is Rallyday Partners’ response to this gap: an on-demand eLearning experience focused on ten human skills that unlock long-term impact. These so-called “soft skills” are actually the hardest and most transformative to master. We believe that focusing on these skills can change the trajectory of a person’s career and life. We like to say that it is the job skills that get you hired, but often the soft skills that get you promoted. RallyGrow also gives learners a chance to build a shared language for growth across teams and companies.

Why did we create our own program vs. just buy something out of the box? Believe us, we tried! We scoured the web and our network for pre-existing content that covered the core values, skills, and aspects of how we see the world at Rallyday, but didn’t find anything that checked all our boxes.

This is the first stop in a blog series that will cover each of the modules, skills, and concepts from RallyGrow in more depth. In the meantime, we’ll leave you with a teaser of what’s to come:
