A Challenge That Has Stood The Test of Time...
The workforce crisis isn't just about finding labor—it's about keeping it.
- Only 23% of U.S. employees are engaged at work, INDUSTRY FALLING well below average
- Frontline Managers influence 70% of the variance in team engagement
- Disengaged employees cost companies up to 34% of their Salary
This isn't just a soft issue - it's a strategic liability preventing growth.
Poor organizational engagement is the primary indicator of high turnover, low productivity and efficiency, poor quality, and increased safety incidents.
First-Time Supervisors and Managers Lead
70-80% of Our Organizations
Yet, most get thrust into their roles with little training or support.
The results are incredibly predictable:
Supervisors lack the tools and awareness to lead under pressure
TEAMS STRUGGLE WITH CLARITY, ACCOUNTABILITY, COHESION, AND PURPOSE
DISENGAGEMENT SPREADS, MULTIPLYING TURNOVER AND CLAIMING REVENUE
The problem isn't that people leave bad bosses - it's that our system keeps creating them.
Real Impact, Real Results
I'm Craig.
I’m a former Apache helicopter pilot who has led organizations in the military and aerospace industry valued in excess of $330 million across the globe. I was developed in a high stakes world where failure wasn’t an option. Now, I bring that same standard to frontline leadership in manufacturing—where the stakes are just as high.

Want to Learn How?
You CAN create a thriving organization that withstands societal trends, shifts, and challenges
Our organizational cultures form at the intersection of our frontline leaders and workers. It is either intentionally cultivated or, more often than not, left to develop on it's own.
Great leaders understand that their culture is their greatest asset -and- they know how to cultivate the culture they desire to create.
The most successful companies and teams in the world recognize this. They are leader development incubators in disguise that just happen to sell products or services. Their number one organizational priority is to empower their frontline leaders.
Why?
Because developed and prepared frontline leaders spread purpose and clarity throughout the entire organization. Purpose and clarity breed engagement. And an engaged workforce builds a thriving organization from the ground up.
Refuse a future of continuing to feel overwhelmed, stressed, and confused. You have the power to break free from the cycle of survival. You have what it takes to make a difference. When you develop confident and empowered leaders, everything changes.
Start ACTIVATING your organization today – unlocking your organization’s potential is just a discovery call away.
