The Challenge: Enabling managers in a high-growth, high-impact environment

As Corelight expanded its presence in federal, international and commercial sectors, its hiring ramped significantly, especially within high-leverage roles like engineering, customer success, and operations. But there was a clear bottleneck: first-time managers were being asked to lead without structured development.

“We had people stepping into management who were sharp, but hadn’t been taught how to lead. We needed something fast, flexible, wasn’t a huge time sink and combined on demand and live learning.”

Traditional training wasn’t a fit as it was too expensive, too time-consuming, and too disconnected from the pace of the business. What Karyn, who leads Learning and Development, needed was a solution that would give managers actionable skills without pulling them out of the work.
