Episode 28 - Merging operational excellence and caring for people
Monday Mar 29, 2021
Monday Mar 29, 2021
In the last episode, we heard from author, speaker and Undercover Millennial about what his research uncovered for people to say "I Love It Here" (also the title of his book!).
Today, I have a conversation with one of those kinds of leaders who is actually creating that kind of environment in perhaps the most unlikely of places - the manufacturing environment.
Listen in as Kevin Peters, President of IDL Print, talks about his own growth journey as a leader and the things that he has done to create the merger of intelligent and caring manufacturing.
Many of Kevin's leaders are part of the Emerging Leader Inner Circle and they have been through the process that we created to help develop leadership behaviors that support the vision of the growth for the team.
Kevin embodies the leadership qualities of that mentor-manager that Clint Pulver talked about last week and I know that you'll enjoy hearing from this leader today.
Once again this episode is brought to you by the Emerging Leader Inner Circle which helps unseen people-leaders develop the next level leaders to futureproof the organization by preventing A-Level talent from leaving. The program creates the ability to grow leaders and elevate to be seen as strategic and visionary.
