I just listened to the latest Leader Feeder episode with Kirk Langford and Suzanne Jacques on how frontline leaders can elevate plant performance, and the takeaways are gold. A great reminder that some of the biggest levers for performance aren't found in the machines but in the management of people. They touch on skills like decision-making waste, accountability and how to motivate beyond the paycheck. If you want to move your plant's performance from good to great, these human skills can help you on a path to cultural and operational change. Listen to the full Leader Feeder episode for all the practical strategies 🎧 👉 https://lnkd.in/dG4RigJc #FrontlineLeadership #ManufacturingSupervisor #Empowerment #LeadershipDevelopment #ManufacturingLeadership #FrontlineSupervisor

Having become a Lean practitioner early in my career, I notice when it’s in use, even on vacation. Some of my EOS clients use it to strengthen their Process and Data components. EOS gives you focus and alignment. Lean gives you continuous improvement. Together, they work exceptionally well—when EOS comes first. 1. EOS → create clarity, alignment, and accountability 2. Lean → optimize what’s now clearly defined and owned • Process EOS: Document the 20% of processes that give you 80% of the results. Lean then helps eliminate waste and improve flow inside those core processes. • Data EOS Scorecard defines the handful of numbers that tell you if you’re winning. Lean tools improve the measurables that show up on the Scorecard. It's not a case of either/or; it's about getting the sequence right. You start with EOS because: • Alignment precedes optimization • Clarity precedes efficiency • Discipline precedes scale You start with EOS because improvement without alignment creates noise, not traction. #EOS #Lean
