Life is changing rapidly for manufacturers and their employees as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. As priorities shift, many companies are finding that their company culture is shifting, too.

This 50-minute webinar will feature experts from the Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center-West and executive coaching firm Vistage Michigan.

Investing in Leadership
November 10, 2020
Promoting operations staff to manufacturing management positions can often be a recipe for failure. The reason: Employees who are good at their job often lack natural leadership skills to step into those new roles. An investment in leadership training can help. Join us for a panel-style webinar on best practices for training team leaders, plant managers and other middle-management workers.
