Thrilled to Be Asked: How to Build Leaders on the Frontline w/ Gayle Noakes

The Manufacturing Executive · 1 Dec 2020 · 21m · Episode 25

What this episode covers

Gayle Noakes, owner of Gayle Noakes' Supervisor Success, explains how midsize manufacturers fail to train frontline supervisors, causing executives to micromanage and supervisors to revert to operator roles. She advocates for identifying potential early, providing targeted leadership training, and creating an environment where operators feel safe to share critical process knowledge. Noakes illustrates these points with anecdotes about resolving clutter through operator-purchasing collaboration and fixing a machine's structural failure through a quiet operator's insight.

    The Truth about Machine Learning with Oden Technologies CEO Willem Sundblad

    Willem Sundblad, CEO and co-founder of Oden Technologies, discusses the practical application of machine learning in manufacturing, emphasizing that success depends on workforce culture and trust rather than just technology.
