David F. MitchellSenior Executive Aerospace, Defense & Government Services Logistics, Sustainment, Manufacturing and MRO
Personal Leadership Attributes Lead from the front. Be visible. Communicate. Take responsibility for the success or failure of your team. Never ask anyone to go where you wouldn’t go. Then give them everything they need to succeed. If it ain’t broke – fix it anyway. Someone is always breathing down your neck and technology is changing the way we do business faster than most of us can keep up. Even if you’re best-in-class, you’d better be improving or you’ll soon be overtaken. Know your customers. Have you ever been told by your management team how much your customers love you just before you lost a major contract or account? I’ll bet you have. Know yourself. Do you really know your competitive advantage and are you leveraging it to grow your business? Engage your employees. These folks are much closer to the fire than you will ever be and they possess a great diversity of opinions, ideas, and capabilities. Get lean. Lean manufacturing principles and techniques work in all industries. Apply them to your support functions and back office activities as well as your production and operations functions.
