There's a mistake that almost every industrial operation makes when they promote someone to supervisor.
It's not malicious. It's not even careless. It happens because of a completely reasonable assumption, one that feels right at the time and costs a fortune over the next two years.
It's called a hope promotion.
And the uncomfortable truth is that if you've promoted supervisors in the last decade, you've almost certainly given one.
In this video, I walk you through exactly what a hope promotion is, the three signs you've given one, and what it's actually costing your operation — in turnover, safety performance, and the problems that keep landing on your desk instead of getting solved on the floor.
There's also a better way to do this. It's not complicated. But it starts with recognizing what you've been doing.
Watch the video and find out if this sounds familiar.
If it does — tell me in the comments. You won't be alone.
