Build Circle: management with KPI responsibility

Q: How do I get pricing and schedules?

Ask the CPB team about Build Circle and we will share the details.

When a manager is responsible for results, they need to understand the numbers behind those results. Build Circle combines the people and operations management program in Learn Circle with KPI management.

Who it is for

Managers who own results

Build Circle fits managers responsible for people, operations and measurable results.

Build Circle is not the Build level. Build is also one of the five AOS levels. Enrollment never depends on your company being at the Build level.

What they work on

People management: expectations, feedback and performance conversations.
Operational management: schedules, standards and daily execution.
KPI management: the numbers behind their results, and what to do when a number is off track.

Build Circle only

KPI management

Build Circle adds KPI management to the shared people and operations program.

Understand the numbers behind the results they are responsible for.
Review those numbers on a regular rhythm instead of waiting for surprises.
Turn an off-track number into a specific action with an owner.
Report results to the owner clearly and consistently.

From a manager who grew with Liz

“I started in her Managers Circle, and I’m now the Regional Manager overseeing three locations.”

Working with Liz Trotter at Core Profit Builders has made such a difference in my growth as a leader. I started in her Managers Circle, and I’m now the Regional Manager overseeing three locations, each with its own manager who also attends her Managers Circle.
What I appreciate most is that Liz doesn’t just give you the answers. She asks thoughtful questions and coaches you to find the answers yourself, helping you build the confidence and skills to lead your team.
Through our one-on-one coaching, she has helped me grow as a leader and better coach the managers I support. With her guidance, we’ve strengthened our leadership team, improved our day-to-day operations, and created more consistency across all three locations. I’m grateful for how she challenges and supports me, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to grow as a leader!
