When I talk to business leaders about Run, Improve, Grow® they often see the benefit for themselves of forming the discipline of getting out of the daily run and spending more time on work that produces growth. What they sometimes can’t see is what it would mean to their organization if their middle managers and supervisors spent less time fighting fires. “I don’t know what that looks like,” they tell me.
There seems to be an acceptance that good managers are good fire fighters. True to some degree, but wouldn’t it make more sense if what they did best was work with the operators to keep the fires from starting in the first place? What does that look like? Now I can show you.
At PDi Communication Systems in Springboro, Ohio, we recently had a chance to document, in video form, what employee led improvement looks like. I hope you will take a moment to see for yourself. Clicking on the thumbnail will open a new window where you will click to play. Enjoy, and please share with others.
