For Episode #363, I'm joined by Crystal Davis as we discuss:
What are you seeing in terms of how Covid19 is disrupting businesses?
How do we move from crisis mode, to survival mode, to recovery mode?
Why do we need courageous leadership during these challenging times?
This is also the first video podcast that I've done in a while. Scroll down for embedded video.
We share a background as industrial engineers who started our Lean careers at General Motors, and we both moved on to do work with other types of businesses.
Crystal has many roles today: The Lean Coach, Inc. – Founder, CEO, Principal Lean Practitioner; DisruptHER Coach; Managing Partner at MPlus.
I hope you enjoy the conversation!
