Founder & Managing Director
Josh Gain
I built 10X Managers because I lived the problem it solves. Promoted into management from a sales role at Gartner, I was overwhelmed, isolated, and underserved by training that had nothing to do with the job in front of me. So I went looking for a better way to learn and found it in community: real managers solving real problems together. That discovery became Performance Partnering, the model every 10X partner now runs.
- Managers in the community
- 6,800+
- B2B clients
- 50+

“I was struggling, feeling isolated, and the training I did receive didn't match what I was actually facing every day. I knew there had to be a better way to learn how to be a manager.”Josh Gain
How Josh helps
Real problems solved. Development as the by-product.
Community Over Gurus
Managers learn fastest from each other
I built 10X on the insight that unlocked my own growth: managers develop fastest by solving real problems alongside peers, not by importing a guru. We surface the intelligence already inside your business.
- Peer-powered learning
- Intelligence surfaced from within
- A community, not a guru
Data That Proves Movement
We measure movement, not attendance
We surface what is really going on, then prove whether it moved. We don't measure learning, we measure change, so the results stand up to a CFO, not just a happy sheet.
- Real problems surfaced
- Movement measured, not learning
- Results your CFO can see
Execution After the Room
Development happens through action
We take responsibility for what happens after the workshop: the commitments, the cadence, the accountability. Development happens through action, so action is the default, not the hope.
- Commitments followed through
- An accountability cadence
- Action as the default
