Zen and the Art of Manufacturing

Leadership Skills w/ Mike Leigh


Listen Later

In part 2, we talk about the specific steps needed to become a better leader while simultaneously improving the plant. Learn why listening skills can be the number one influence of exceptional culture, why good leadership needs to start at the top in order to improve culture, and how both of these things can help improve the performance and processes of the company as a whole.

"When a leader can understand that a good idea and improvements can come from anywhere and anybody, that's a great skill because that can take an organization to the next level."

Mike Leigh is the President of OpX Solutions, a performance improvement company that helps manufacturers remove the barriers that prevent them from achieving their goals by developing leaders and improving processes. 

During this episode, Mike mentions two books and a leadership organization he belongs to which can be found with the links below:

  • Virtually any book by John Maxwell
  • Start with Why by Simon Sinek 
  • Leadership Management International (LMI)
  • If you would like to chat with Mike, he can be contacted on LinkedIn or through his company website, OpX Solutions.
