  • Root Cause Analysis: Work with cross-functional teams to conduct root cause analysis to determine the underlying causes of inefficiencies, defects, or quality issues. Use tools such as fishbone diagrams (Ishikawa diagrams) or 5 Whys analysis to identify and address root causes.

  • Driving Results. Identify specific purpose, goal, or destination and prioritize making progress toward it Focus discussions on what you want to achieve and why - and then let them do it. Everyone knows their role and is accountable for driving their work to achieve a common goal.
