AME Southwest: Driving Results Through People
August 21, 2018 @ 7:30 am - August 22, 2018 @ 12:00 pm UTC+0
DESCRIPTION
Leader Powered Lean: A Heartbeat Leader’s First Workshop
This workshop will teach attendees high performance team theory, share lessons learned and best practices, and generate a rich learning environment to help any team improve their business performance. What do lean best practice companies have in common? “Heartbeat” leaders whose performance is the leading indicator of the core business metrics: team engagement, cost, schedule, quality and safety.
We call them different names like foreman, charge nurses or team leaders, but they serve the same key roles–regardless of location. They get the job done! If they have a good day, everyone has a good day, and if they have a bad day, then everyone has a bad day. This workshop will shine a spotlight on how to identify, train, prepare and develop heartbeat leaders so that their first day is a performance day and not a “let’s see how this goes day.” Ultimately, these leaders lead dream teams who understand that improving workforce productivity means lowering labor cost while increasing revenue, thus taking care of the team out of increased profit.
“Most people consider management as the leaders of a company without realizing the true leaders are those on the front lines; the supervisors who are in a position to make major impacts in performance. Heartbeat Leaders reveals the importance of first line supervisors, the reasons we inhibit their potential and the realities of employee engagement. This course is essential for those who want to implement lean and improve productivity.”
Scott Spooner – Vice President of Operations, OsteoMed, L.P.
