Calling Frontline Leaders in Manufacturing and Supply Chain

Hi , I’m John Bradbury, Founder of Evolving Leaders - deployed, a recruitment and leadership hire program for highly competent Frontline Leaders

After 20 years in challenging Frontline Leader roles followed by managing Frontline Leaders, I spent the subsequent 22 years helping hundreds of leaders to develop their leadership skills addressing issues like:

❌ Leadership skill gaps based on insufficient development

🕜 How to build trust with team members and peers

😣 how to motivate team members and collaborate effectively

💪 how to quickly become a confident leader

I’ve distilled everything I’ve learned and know into an elite program called Evolving Leaders to help Frontline Leaders develop quickly and become very effective in their new roles.

✅Comprehensive Training Modules

✅ Frontline Leaders Group Coaching Calls

✅ Supportive Networking Community

⚒️ Practical Templates & Exercises

👀 Additional personalized attention and guidance via one on one coaching

The key to creating a strong culture is having Frontline Leaders who set the correct tone with their team members every minute of every day

We teach frontline leaders how to lead their team using a structured approach and through 1 on 1 coaching that addresses what is happening now. Leading a team requires some sophisticated interpersonal skills
which result in trust building when applied correctly. Frontline leaders don’t all come with these skills baked in but they can be learned.

The challenges new Frontline Leaders face

Being tested by the team

  • "Long lasting and incredibly effective work."

    I have worked with John over the past few years and found his work with the team to be long lasting and incredibly productive. We are currently working on Front Line Leadership with the Team Leaders and the results have been amazing. From staff that just "Turned Up" to staff that are now engaged with the business is something you cant buy. The program works with the individuals needs, to improve, as well as the Team. Just a small part of the program - Listening and communicating - such easy 'words' to say - but how hard are they when they are put to practice in your home life as well as work. It has changed the lifes of our Team which has made it all so much more worthwhile.

  • "Highly recommend to anyone."

    I have been working with John for over a year now for both my personal development and assisting me with the development of my own team. His advise and guidance when we have reviewed enneagrams for my team has resulted in practical goals for both myself and my team. With his years of real experience in operations we have been able to collaborate together well. He will challenge fixed ideas and provide a different perspective. I would highly recommend John to any organisation looking to change their culture. His focus on the importance of collaboration will benefit both individuals and organisations.

    — Paul Sporbert. State Operations Manager NSW

  • "A transformational experience."

    Being coached by John has been a transformational experience. Prior to working with John my self-confidence was a key concern that was holding me back in my career. I had also recently moved into a new role and was experiencing some challenges in the key relationships that were required for me to deliver on my objectives. John encouraged and supported me to take a step back and look at things from a broader perspective. In doing so, I have gained a better understanding of both myself and others. My experience at work is now entirely different to how it was six months ago. My relationships have improved, my key objectives are being delivered and I feel much more confident in my abilities in my current role and about my options for progression in the future.
