Hard Conversations on the Shop Floor

This playbook is for supervisors, foremen, and leaders who have to correct behavior without blowing up trust, triggering grievances, or losing credibility.

It covers the conversations most leaders avoid:
– Attendance problems
– Safety shortcuts
– Attitude and insubordination
– Senior employee pushback
– Union reps in the room
– High performers who poison the crew

No corporate language. No theory.
Just real scenarios, real words, and a framework you can use on your next shift.
