Leadership & Culture
70% of change initiatives fail. Most maintenance managers come up through the ranks strong on technical skills and short on leadership and business skills. That gap, not the technical side, is what kills most reliability improvements.
Leadership versus culture
Create a compelling picture of a better future and motivate people to deliver it. Show them what reliability gives them, not just the organisation.
Break the vision into small steps. Hold people accountable. Make progress visible and celebrate success, often and early.
Share your knowledge and experience to help people perform better, and build trust along the way.
