This course is for the Engineer or Leader who wants to “make things happen” in their organization. It is “meat and potatoes” with practical, common-sense, proven approaches for becoming the low cost, high quality provider. It’s not sexy, ‘faddish,’ glitzy or glamorous; just proven and simple stuff that really works.

In this course we will take a journey through these ten proven business essentials that will guide you along the path to becoming a more effective leader and manager. These are timeless transferable principles that are applicable wherever people and processes interact to produce a product or service.

It is based on the ten essential factors for success that the instructor has identified in work with hundreds of different organizations during the past three decades.
