A Field Guide for the Modern Manufacturing Leader They Just Don't Get It is a rare business book that bridges two worlds-the boardroom and the shop floor-and gives a voice to the leader standing between them. Written by veteran manufacturing executives Don Robb and Bob Siepka, with a foreword by Jack Stack (The Great Game of Business), this book offers a deeply practical look at what it really takes to lead "from the middle" in modern operations. Robb and Siepka draw on more than seventy years of experience leading plants and turnarounds to illuminate one timeless challenge: the disconnect between corporate strategy and frontline reality. They don't romanticize leadership or drown readers in theory. Instead, they tell grounded, relatable stories-of overloaded production lines, disengaged teams, and transformations built on data, trust, and culture. The book's structure mirrors the leader's developmental journey:Part I: The Current Reality helps readers see their operation clearly, beginning with the cultural and workforce challenges that define U.S. manufacturing today. Part II: Delivering Results provides tools to turn data into visibility, visibility into understanding, and understanding into action. Part III: Leading Through People shifts focus from metrics to mindset, showing how supervisors, department managers, and partners in HR or finance can become multipliers rather than bottlenecks. The Conclusion ties it together with a call to "lead from the middle"-connecting people to purpose and purpose to performance. Each section ends with a "Cultural Pulse Check," a simple reflection tool that helps leaders diagnose and measure cultural health. The combination of field-tested frameworks, anecdotes, and accessible language makes the book equally useful in the office, break room, or classroom.
