People don't quit plants.
They quit supervisors.
Most supervisors were promoted because they were good at their last job, not because of their leadership know-how. GSD trains every supervisor in your plant, live, once a month.
Built for shift work. No week-long course and nobody pulled off the floor for days: one 3-hour live session a month, recorded so 2nd and 3rd shift get the same training as 1st.
Next free session: Tuesday, November 17 · 12:00 PM ET · Stop making stupid decisions with crappy data!. One hour, online, no pitch.

Your supervisors run the plant. Who trained them?
Promoted from the floor
Your best operator became a supervisor on Monday. Nobody showed them how to run a shift, handle the hard conversation or hold people accountable.
Turnover follows the supervisor
When good people walk, it is usually under the same one or two supervisors. Every quit costs you hiring, training and overtime.
Off shift gets left out
Training happens on 1st shift, if at all. The 2nd and 3rd shift leads run half your plant and get the least help.
One plant price. Every supervisor. Every shift.
Straightforward, practical training your supervisors can use on the floor the same week.
A live 3-hour session every month
Doc, Beau and Gerry (an organizational psychologist, an MBA and a 35-year manufacturing veteran) work one real supervisor problem live, with your people's questions in the room.
Unlimited people per plant
Supervisors, leads, team leaders and managers on every shift. The price is per plant, so adding people costs nothing.
The GSD system
Four things every shift needs from its supervisor: Clarity, Teamwork, Discipline and Energy. Simple enough to use on the floor.
Lean Six Sigma Green Belt included
An accredited Green Belt course for your people at no extra cost, for the process side of the job.
Also included: the recordings archive of past sessions, for anyone who missed one or wants to go back over a topic.
Everyone on the shift knows the priorities, the standard and who decides what.
Problems get owned and fixed together, not passed along or blamed on the last shift.
Fix the process, not the person. Lean tools that keep the same problem from coming back.
Supervisors people want to work for. That is what keeps good people on the floor.
$24,000 per plant. About $25 an hour.
With 20 participants that is $1,200 each for the year, about $25 per hour of live training. $24,000 for 12 months, billed monthly by bank transfer (ACH) or card.
One plant price: $24,000 for 12 months, billed $2,000 a month. Unlimited people, so every extra participant lowers the cost per head.
AND that is only the live training. Every participant also gets the recorded trainings in the Video Library and the accredited Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course, at no extra cost.

What plant managers ask us
How much time does this take off the floor?
One live session a month, three hours, online. Nobody travels and nobody is gone for a week-long course. Supervisors who can't leave the line that day watch the recording when their shift allows.
We run three shifts. How does 2nd and 3rd shift get trained?
Every session is recorded and goes into the archive, so off-shift supervisors get the same training as 1st shift, at a time that works for them. You can also put a crew in a conference room and watch together.
Who can attend?
Everyone you want at your plant: supervisors, leads, team leaders and managers, on every shift. The price is per plant, not per person, so adding people costs nothing.
How do we know it's paying off?
Use the numbers you already track: turnover and absenteeism under each supervisor, safety incidents, and how many problems still land on the plant manager's desk. Look at them before you start and again after six months.
What is the Green Belt?
An accredited Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course is included for your people at no extra cost. It covers the practical tools (5S, value-stream mapping, visual management) that go with the leadership side.
Start with one free hour.
Register for the free monthly session, bring a supervisor or two, and judge it on the floor.
