The team of engineers need to be more aligned both in monitoring but also they need to develop a range of agile and business improvement ideas. You want the manager to develop and enhance his coaching and feedback style with the team. Example No 3: You would like a team leader to take a review of the current state of a failing process, where she then needs to make a number of significant changes and also be courageous with some process improvements recommendations, so that the team dramatically improve its customer feedback scores and also achieve better utlisation of costs such as interim resources. You would like her leadership style to be more open and create an improved level of customer intimacy.

1 Waste Reduction To establish a documented action plan that drives new solid waste reduction targets, so that by year end you meet a 10% reduction, and create a more engaged team through strong partnerships and influencing skills. Meeting the target viewed as less than 10% improvement  (Not met) 10-15% (Met) 15-20% improvement (Exceeded). Improved engagement scores. Lower absenteeism, employee turnover, exit interview data. 2 Yields Metrics To formulate an ingredient, energy, yield monitoring and control approach so that engineers aligned to monitoring develop a range of agile and business improvement ideas developed through your enhanced coaching and feedback style. All engineers know any significant deviations 10%+ from targets and they do not detect/respond to the deviations = unacceptable performance. The team’s capability with yield metrics enhances. Your leadership style is less directive. 3 Project Sahara To review the current state, then make a number of significant/courageous process improvements recommendations, so that we dramatically improve customer feedback scores and achieve better utlisation of interim resources with your leadership style creating a more open and improved level of customer intimacy. Contract is renewed for 3 years +. Overall customer satisfaction is at 90+. Interim/ contingent costs down by 20%. Your build a reputation as a key strategic partner.

4 Health & Safety To embrace the DNVGL safety assessment and role model a Safety culture on the team, so that you actively find time to plan, act, review and check safety and the team recognise your leadership accountability in role modelling a zero tolerance with safety and developing a safe risk free team culture. The team positively call out the change in your behaviour. You can give me examples of what changes you have made or what actions you have taken to pre-empt issues. People have more courage to talk openly about issues. Measures don’t have to $ or % if I can also see your behaviour if I can see it I can measure it! 5 Yields Metrics
