Timothy Meyer’s Post

In the challenging world of manufacturing, the phrase "just go out and get it done" is often used by leadership as a rallying cry. However, without the necessary documentation and training, this call to action can lead to confusion, frustration, and inefficiency. As a member of a team that has been instructed to "just get it done" without the necessary resources, I've experienced the challenges that come with this approach. It's akin to being asked to navigate an unfamiliar city without a map. You know your destination, but without the right directions, you're left wandering aimlessly. This lack of documentation and training not only leads to frustration among team members, but it can also impact the quality of our work, the efficiency of our processes, and ultimately, the success of our organization. Leadership in manufacturing needs to understand that documentation and training are not optional, but essential. They are the roadmap that guides us to our destination. By investing in these resources, we're not just improving our skills, we're also improving our products, our processes, and our organization as a whole. This is a call to all leaders in manufacturing - let's move away from "just getting it done" to "getting it done right". Let's invest in documentation and training, and see the transformative impact it can have. #Manufacturing #Leadership #Documentation #Training

Assume the role of an effective leader by interpreting what characterizes leadership and how it can be fostered. Being a leader is about understanding and being able to pivot to different styles of leadership based on the state of the company, the customers and its employees needs. there isn't a right way to do it, but I do think consistent learning and observation of action will yield higher results.

Internal education and quantifying quality – two major steps that the quality team can take to drive innovation in the Quality Management field and match leadership expectations.

Traditional leadership is failing. Political chaos is on the rise. And that's a good thing. Let me tell you why. Leaders finally understand that the demands and expectations of stakeholders and citizens have evolved. They realize they need adaptive decision-making processes. They need to modernize operational frameworks or succumb to crisis and eventually become insignificant. Here's a model I developed that offers a new perspective on public sector leadership and has the potential to contribute to innovative and resilient policy processes. For more on this, follow the upcoming release of my publication in the volume, Leadership Action and Intervention in Health, Business, Education, and Technology by Dr. Darrell Norman Burrell - https://lnkd.in/gyywZ3rV

Leadership Leadership is the second major element in the implementation of an externally focused means of obtaining innovation capability or technology. Leadership is the art of getting things done through others. In externally focused methods of acquiring technology, leadership has the responsibility to: ●Integrate policies and procedures ●Develop a strategy for critical ●activities Ensure that these activities occur in a timely manner We will examine these component parts in turn. However, it is important to note that although CEOs and COOs are involved in negotiations in externally focused efforts to obtain technology, too often, the CIO of a firm or the head of research and development is often excluded from such negotiations. Many of the leadership issues identified here could be resolved by involving technology professionals such as the CIO, R&D managers, and engineering managers at all stages of the planning and implementation processes.

Go for a walk!  One best practice is to implement a regular, structured waste walks into the leadership team’s schedule.  This provides the leaders opportunities to look for wastes in the operation and engage the operators in finding solutions to improve the process.
