TopStack™ Supervisory Skills Training

Are you ready to help your emerging distribution center leaders stack up the ingredients to success in your warehouse?

Industrial Athlete University’s TopStack™ Supervisory Skills and Communications Effectiveness Training program is:

• • Guaranteed to achieve results
  • Applied to your specific distribution operation
  • Focused on individual professional development needs
  • Tangible and results in transparent improvements to your operation

Most management training is done for the sake of training; because somehow the trained concepts will translate and be used when the class is over. This is a poor, if not risky, assumption to make. In order for training to be worthwhile, a system of success must be developed and used.

TopStack is a different type of training program. TopStack trains essential management skills and ensures that the learned concepts are applied and used back in the area of operation. In fact, TopStack provides managers the same “system of success” they should be providing their personnel, starting with needs and finishing with consistent follow-up for results.

TopStack covers ten, core modules each of which include 3-4 “micro-lessons” that include topics such as:

• • SUPERVISORS AS LEADERS
  • SITUATIONAL LEADERSHIP
  • EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
  • THE WORK CONTROL “SYSTEM”
  • THE PARADIGM OF CHANGE
  • MOTIVATION AND PERFORMANCE
  • DECISION MAKING
  • PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION & RESOLUTION
  • TEAM BUILDING
  • COACHING & FEEDBACK

How did IAU select these ten areas? Because not only have they been noted as THE MOST CRITICAL skills of effective managers in studies and articles found in the top leadership and management-focused publications, but because our leadership team has OBSERVED these competencies in top-performing managers in the food distribution and warehousing industry.  In fact, TopStack is a program that’s unlike any other program offered on the market and has been designed around principles used for more than 25 years in the business performance enhancement, and productivity and profitability improvement realm in the food distribution arena.

And, to sweeten the deal, IAU guarantees the results and effectiveness of the program. If your operation does not achieve a 100% return on your training investment within 6 months after completing the TopStack program, we will refund your money. In fact, we won’t let any TopStack program participant complete the training program until our staff knows that they have or are on track to substantially enhancing their management skills or taking a leadership role in helping your team solve some obstacle to operations excellence!
