In this podcast I have a discussion with Dean Patton, a leader I had the pleasure of working with a few years ago.

We touch on the early influences on Dean growing up in Ireland.

Dean teaches us from earlier in his career how to use Continuous Improvement and successfully engage people in that approach.

Later Dean held more senior leadership roles.

We discuss how to support Frontline Leaders effectively in an organisation.

Dean offers a model of Knowledge/Execution/Motivation as a way to analyse plant performance.
