Lead Hands – overlooked and underdeveloped leaders

A Lead Hand is a working leader. In many organizations they work along side of the individuals they lead. Almost always they are part of the hourly workforce, receiving a small additional amount of pay. The lead hand has a significant influence over the amount of work completed by the team. Yet in most organizations, the lead hand is not utilized as a full member of the leadership team. Often companies will not provide basic leadership training to Lead Hands which can be a big mistake.

That is why we developed a one of a kind leadership training course just for lead hands. The core lead hand course consists of four three-hour modules. The modules were created based on the proven content of the supervisory training program and only the content specifically for lead hands was included.

Examples of the course content covered in the four modules:

1. Expectations of a lead hand/team leader

2. The Role of the Lead Hand on the Leadership Team

3. Leadership

4. Communication Skills for Lead Hands

5. Understanding People, Motivation and Performance

6. How to Comment on a Co-Worker's Performance

7. How to Train a New Employee On the Job

Optional topics that can be added to the lead hand program:

  • Understanding your strengths and weaknesses from a leadership perspective
  • Managing Conflict
  • Team Building
  • Problem Solving and Decision Making
