From shift supervisors to plant managers, this training equips manufacturing leaders with the tools to build trust, enforce consistency, and lead with authority.
Why This Training
Manufacturing plants do not need fluffy leadership theory. They need practical leadership that works under pressure.
In today’s environment:
• Inconsistent standards across shifts destroy trust.
• Attendance, overtime, and accountability can make or break culture.
• Supervisors often lead from title, not influence.
This program is built specifically for industrial and manufacturing leaders who face these challenges every day.
Tailored Content for Manufacturing
We took proven leadership principles and translated them to the realities of plant leadership.
What’s Covered:
• DISC for the Floor – Understanding communication styles to reduce conflict and improve teamwork.
• Accountability Tools – Using the Accountability Ladder and Performance Grid to address lateness, safety violations, and performance issues.
• Consistency Across Shifts – Ensuring supervisors enforce the same standards no matter the time of day.
• Moral vs. Positional Authority – Getting people to follow you because they trust you, not just because of your title.
• Stress & Resilience – Nutrition, exercise, and reset strategies that keep leaders sharp and steady.
• EndoDyne – Moving from positional authority to moral authority and understanding the power within.
Why It Works
This is not a lecture. It is an interactive workshop that uses real manufacturing scenarios:
• Handling a late operator fairly across all shifts.
• Addressing safety violations through direct, respectful conversation.
• Silent Line-Up – Nonverbal communication and DISC awareness.
• Lost at Sea – Decision-making and collaboration under pressure.
Every exercise is tied to your plant’s real environment: shift changes, attendance tracking, overtime distribution, production goals, and safety standards.
