The Plant Manager Accelerator
The Hidden Crisis No One Talks About — And the System That Solves It Too.
Watch: The Silent Crisis Plant Managers Face — And Why Senior Leaders Can’t Afford to Ignore It
Protect Your Most Critical Leader and Unlock Their Full Potential
"For 15+ years, Aron has provided guidance and direction to help me grow from an average Production Manager with big goals, to a highly successful Plant Manager at two different locations. I can’t thank Aron enough for providing me a blueprint for success, that challenged previous ways of thinking, and provided me the means to get the appropriate “balance” needed to have success in the Plant Manager role. Without question, I wouldn’t be where I am today professionally, or personally without his support and leadership."
- Roger Brecht
You’re in the Right Place If Your Plant Manager Is…
• Constantly firefighting instead of leading strategically.
• Struggling to retain talent or keep the floor engaged.
• Facing growing leadership gaps between corporate and plant.
• Running hard but showing signs of burnout or disengagement.
• Watching quality, safety, or throughput slip despite effort.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR
PLANT MANAGER THRIVES
Picture your Plant Manager:
Leading and developing a high-performing, engaged, and accountable team.
Anticipating and preventing issues before they escalate.
Aligning corporate priorities with plant execution seamlessly.
Delivering results without sacrificing health or family life.
Becoming the kind of leader you’d promote in a heartbeat.

"I thought I had it all under control, but the truth was I was burning out—ignoring my health, neglecting my faith, and letting work run my life. Aron showed me how to realign and build the right habits, and now I’m healthier, more present with my family, and sharper in my business than ever.”

QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT BE ASKING
Q: Why is this program different from other leadership training or consulting?
A: Most programs are one-size-fits-all or focused on technical skills. The Plant Manager Accelerator is hands-on, one-on-one coaching designed specifically for plant managers. It’s not theory — it’s tailored to the real pressures of running a plant while balancing life outside of it.
Q: How much time will this take each week?
A: Coaching sessions are weekly or bi-weekly and designed to fit around the unpredictable schedule of a plant manager. The goal is not to add more to your plate, but to create capacity by giving you tools that save time and increase effectiveness.
Q: What if our Plant Manager is already stretched too thin?
A: That’s exactly why this program exists. Burnout and overload aren’t solved by pushing harder — they’re solved by building resilience, clarity, and systems. The Accelerator is designed to relieve pressure, not add to it.
Q: Can we afford this investment?
A: The cost of replacing one plant manager — between lost productivity, recruiting, onboarding, and ramp-up — is far greater than this program. The Accelerator protects your most critical leader, improves results, and secures your leadership pipeline for the long term.
Q: How do we know this will actually make an impact?
A: Every engagement begins with a foundation assessment and alignment session involving both the plant manager and VP of Ops. Progress is tracked through clear milestones, and you’ll see the impact in reduced turnover, higher engagement, and consistent operational performance.
Q: Why is the program limited to only a handful of leaders?
A: This is not a course. It’s high-touch, one-on-one coaching. To keep it personalized and responsive to the realities of a plant manager’s world, I only work with about 10 leaders at a time.
Q: When can we start?
A: Enrollment is ongoing, but spots are limited. Once accepted, your plant manager can begin right away or at the start of the next available cohort..

I keep this program small — never more than 10 leaders at once — so I can stay responsive to the realities of a Plant Manager’s world.
If you want to develop a Plant Manager who delivers results without burning out, this is your next step.
