Now, let’s jump in!

In manufacturing, most leaders don’t struggle because they lack technical knowledge. They struggle because they’re not connecting with their teams.

When skill gaps widen, labor shortages grow, and hiring challenges persist, it’s rarely an operations problem. It’s a leadership and communication problem.

That’s exactly why I wrote Manufacturing Greatness, releasing May 11, 2027 with Page Two.

This book is for Operations Managers, Production Managers, Manufacturing Managers, and Shift Supervisors who want high performing teams that stick around and consistently deliver results. Leaders who are ready to move beyond telling people what to do and start leading through curiosity, communication skills, and deeper conversations.

Inside, you’ll find practical tools to strengthen safety culture, improve employee engagement, support workforce retention, and build a workplace where teams work together, get results, and stay.

Now I need your help.

We’ve narrowed the subtitle down to five options, and I want the manufacturing community to weigh in.

1) How to Be More Productive with the People You Already Have
2) How Curious Leaders Strengthen Relationships to Improve Safety, Quality, and Productivity
3) How to Show Up, Clarify Expectations, and Instill Accountability to Streamline Your Operation
4) Three Conversations to Build High-Performing Teams that Work Together, Get Results, and Stick Around
5) Three Conversations to Build High-Performing Teams that Connect, Deliver, and Stick Around
