Enroll your supervisors, managers and team leaders in our Public Workshops
The #1 choice for HR professionals in frontline leadership training in manufacturing, distribution and operations.
Are you losing valuable employees because of leadership issues? Your supervisors, managers and team leaders can create a culture that increases retention, engagement and productivity, or they can create a culture of apathy or hostility that drives up turnover and creates more headaches for HR to clean up.
Frontline leadership doesn’t come naturally to everyone. Employees promoted from the shop floor into leadership roles often struggle with the transition. That’s where we come in.

Are These Challenges Holding You Back?
Leadership is about impact. But common obstacles can limit even the strongest leaders:
-
Mastering Hard Conversations – Knowing when to address issues and how to guide outcomes with confidence.
-
Sustaining Team Energy – Creating engagement that drives performance, even in challenging times.
-
Balancing Short-Term Wins with Vision – Achieving immediate results without losing sight of what’s ahead.
-
Building a Culture of Accountability – Earning trust and commitment that translates into results.
Why Unique Development’s Public Workshops?
Real Solutions. Real Impact.
Our workshops are designed for immediate application. Every session delivers powerful, actionable strategies for handling challenges, building influence, and achieving results. This isn’t generic leadership theory – it’s practical training that creates change you can see.
Support That Goes Beyond the Workshop
Our commitment to your growth doesn’t stop when the workshop ends. With full access to our Leader Behavior Builder Platform and Leadership Excellence Application Program (LEAP), you’ll continue refining your skills long after the training. This isn’t just a workshop; it’s a foundation for sustained leadership success.
*LEAP access is only included with the Front Line Leadership: Strengthen Essentials

Training doesn't end after the workshop
Leader Behavior Builder™ System
Application and sustainment are essential to get the most from your training investment. That is why your participants will commit to implementing at least two insights from the training session. We will do a quick check-in with them by email or text message between sessions and for 30-days following the training to document how they have applied the course concepts and the impact on their team. We will share those results with you so you can see a return on your training investment.
Check-in Conversation
Your participants will share with their manager the key insights they've gained from the training, their leadership strengths assessment, their vision for their department and how they plan to apply the training back on the job.
We provide a Manager Toolkit and video so the managers understand the role they play in supporting your participants. Managers will see a detailed list of what is being covered in the course and some suggested coaching questions they can use to help the participants as they put the course concepts into action.
Leadership Excellence Application Program (LEAP)
Don't let your leadership training fade away. LEAP ensures lasting impact so that your training is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. Participants in the Front Line Leadership: Strengthen Essentials program receive 3 to 9 months of continued access to reinforce learning and drive behavior change. Periodic reminders with short videos reinforce key concepts and provide practical tips for applying those concepts in the workplace. LEAP supports your team in bridging the gap between learning and doing, ensuring that your leaders translate new knowledge into real impact.
