Leading Lean/Six Sigma
I had the pleasure of interviewing my old friend, J.R. McGee on this topic. He knows a lot about what it takes to get Lean/Six Sigma up and running. During our conversation, we created a fictitious senior leader and then gave this person advice on what to do, and what to avoid, when leading Lean/Six-Sigma. Our advice to this leader could apply to many other types of changes as well.
The interview is about 45 minutes long. I hope you enjoy it.
Leading in Turbulent Times
It turns out that
Leading in Turbulent Times is quite a popular title. A the same time I was writing my white paper on the subject, a colleague was writing an article with the same title, and a major training organization used the phrase to promote its programs.
If you missed it when I mentioned in the last newsletter,
here is the link. Right after it was posted, I got a call from a large insurance company and was told that the ideas in the paper were just what they needed. He was doing a Google search and came across my article. (Bless you Google.) I don't think I've ever gotten such immediate feedback from something I had posted on my site. I guess this Internet thing works.
