Hourly Team Leader Training - Program Design & Development
The Client Need
“Our goal is to grow our next generation of leaders from the diverse pool of talent within the company—starting from the plant floor up. For that, we needed to create a program that teaches our hourly team leads the foundational skills they need to successfully lead now and in future roles.”
- Fortune 100 Firm
The Design
An 8-hour Instructor-Led Training (ILT) that introduces newly-promoted leaders working on the plant floor to the company’s core values and leadership practices before immersing them in a simulated "day in the life” at a fictional plant. Taking on the role of the team lead, learners work together to successfully navigate key moments by applying values-based leadership skills.
Audience: Newly promoted hourly team leaders
Skills in Focus: Lead by taking ownership; become a cultural champion; operate inclusively and with empathy; provide feedback; resolve conflicts; communicate strategically; prioritize; problem solve
Features: Realistic scenario-based learning; gamificationf findings
The Details
During the simulated ”day in the life,” learners prepare to lead a team meeting, practice communicating strategically with management, provide motivational feedback, troubleshoot competing issues on the plant floor, resolve a conflict, and engineer an effective shift hand-off - all while considering how their actions reflect the vision and values of the company. After reviewing the day’s learning, learners draft a personal action plan.
A lightening round quiz after each module helps “gamify” the experience while promoting collaboration and knowledge retention.
“Socratic Arts skillfully balanced the real-world needs of learners with the goals of a diverse set of business leaders - and went the extra mile to make the program rich and engaging, while keeping us on schedule. I consider SA to be true thought partners.” - Client
