70+ Leaders have now Graduated from Cohorts 1, 2, & 3 of Miller Industries Frontline Leadership Academy (FLA), many receiving promotions after enrolling in the course. FLA is an in-person, hands-on course delivered by the world-class training team at Catalyst North Training. The Course meets for eight hours once a month for six months and teaches participants skills essential for being an effective leader. A cohort of participants meets at the Miller Industries Campuses: Greeneville, Hermitage, and Ooltewah.

Topics covered include Emotional Intelligence, the Power of Habit, Systems Thinking, Communication, how to have Crucial Conversations, Coaching Employees, Resolving Conflict, Employee Engagement, and Change Management. Participants also have the opportunity to create a project proposal called a Capstone Project and pitch their proposal to upper-level management. If their project is approved, they can implement it themselves, giving them real-world practical experience.
