What to Say on the Shop Floor

Real words for real leadership moments.

Most supervisors know what needs to be addressed.
They freeze on how to say it without making things worse.

This guide gives you word-for-word language for the moments that actually matter:

• Correcting performance
• Addressing safety without sounding corporate
• Handling attitude and conflict
• Backing your people without losing authority

Inside, you’ll find:

• What not to say (and why it backfires)
• What works instead — in plain language
• Realistic examples you can use immediately

This is not HR talk.
It’s shop-floor communication that holds standards without escalation.
