A discussion about how people are the biggest asset of the Aluminum Trailer Company will take place. As a company, they have identified root causes to gaps that exist, implemented countermeasures, set goals and established metrics to measure to track our progress. However, all of this is dependent on the people at ATC. Their success depends on flexible, effective, capable leaders and teams. They have identified gaps between capabilities of leaders and teams and work expectations needed to meet them. Growing leaders and teams is therefore where our people development energy has been directed in 2017. Come learn from the failures and successes we experienced this year. In the breakout, Colin will feature:
- How the ATC Lifetime Employee Roadmap (LER) is changing the way we work with people.
- How lean leader development works with the Lean Management System (LMS) at ATC.
- How ATC is working to equip leaders so they can create flexible efficient teams that can sustain the gains we are making.
Colin Rusel joined Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) in 2015 in the then newly established role of Director of People Development. Since that time, he has been observing, learning and working with leaders and teams to identify gaps and build tools and systems that leaders, teams and individuals at ATC can use to get better at what we do. His work in 2017 is focused on ATC’s need to develop highly capable lean leaders. Colin has a bachelor’s degree from Goshen College and lives with his wife and two sons in Goshen, IN.
