Utah Manufacturers Association Presents: SLC Frontline Leadership Series

In manufacturing, success depends on how well your teams execute — and that execution hinges on the people leading them. Many frontline supervisors and team leads rise through the ranks because of their skill, reliability, and work ethic, yet they’ve never received formal leadership training.

The result? Communication gaps, inconsistent performance, and unnecessary turnover.

That’s why the Utah Manufacturers Association created the Frontline Leadership Series — a practical, three-part program designed to turn high-performing employees into capable, confident leaders who drive results.

We believe strong manufacturing leaders build strong companies — companies that retain talent, deliver quality, and thrive in every market condition.

Session 1 – January 14: Leadership Fundamentals & Building Better Performing Teams
Equip your leaders with tools to set expectations, motivate their teams, and build accountability-driven performance cultures.

Session 2 – January 21: Communication for Leaders
Enhance communication skills that prevent costly misunderstandings and strengthen coordination between teams and departments.

Session 3 – January 28: Emotional Intelligence & Difficult Conversations
Develop leaders who can handle challenges with composure, build trust, and resolve conflict in ways that improve morale and productivity.

Investing in leadership development isn’t an expense — it’s a performance multiplier. Companies that prioritize leadership capability experience:

• Higher retention and lower turnover costs
• Improved productivity and team engagement
• Stronger safety culture and communication
• Better alignment between management and the production floor

When your frontline leads effectively, your entire operation performs more efficiently.

Give your standout employees the opportunity to grow into the leaders your company needs for the future.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
