LeadMFG Manufacturing Leadership Development
Sept 1, 15, 29 & Oct 1
Being a good employee, operator, technician, team member, or problem-solver does not automatically prepare you to lead others.

Leadership comes with new challenges: setting expectations, giving feedback, addressing performance, coaching people through problems, and knowing how to follow through when things are not working.
​
This course is designed to help you handle those moments with more confidence. You will learn practical tools, talk through real workplace situations, and leave with a simple process you can use immediately in your role.
