DiSC - The Realities of Operational Leadership - Moreton Bay

Leading people on the factory floor is different to leading in an office.

Supervisors, leading hands and team leaders are expected to deliver results every day — under tight deadlines, production pressure, safety demands and shifting workforce challenges. When communication breaks down, or personality styles clash, misunderstandings and conflict can quickly escalate.

This practical, hands-on DiSC workshop is designed specifically for middle leaders in blue-collar, production-focused environments. It focuses on real operational leadership scenarios — with tools and strategies participants can use immediately with their crews.

In this interaction session, particpants will learn how to:

• Understand their leadership style (especially under pressure)
• Recognise how different personality types respond to direction, feedback and change
• Improve communication to drive clarity, safety and accountability
• Motivate different personalities on the floor (what works — and what doesn’t)
• Manage conflict and difficult conversations using practical frameworks (including the H.E.A.T model)
• Apply DiSC in real-time through group discussion and scenario role plays

This workshop avoids corporate jargon and “soft” theory, and instead delivers plain-language, practical leadership tools tailored to manufacturing and operational workplaces.

Facilitator: John Wright (CPEQA, CPBA) is a Senior Partner at The DiSC Agency and an accredited behavioural analyst who facilitates practical, high-impact DiSC workshops that strengthen leadership, communication, and team performance in operational and manufacturing environments.

Participants will receive:
✅ Participant workbook
✅ Certificate of Participation
✅ Practical tools and frameworks for immediate use on the floor

If you lead people in a production environment and want stronger communication, better team dynamics, and fewer friction points — this workshop is for you.
