Background:
Recruiting and retaining the right executive talent to lead Lean & Six Sigma efforts poses a great challenge. Today’s most experienced Lean leaders hail from those industrial sectors which were pioneers in continuous improvement. As still greater numbers of companies venture into Lean and Six Sigma, the demand for this expertise is beginning to outweigh overall supply. So where and how do we seek out the best of these individuals?
On the other hand, the challenge in recruiting the right Green leaders is different, but no less daunting. Can we even agree upon what makes an executive Green? How do we deal with imprecise definitions and varying skill sets? How can we focus on targets which are moving due to the evolving nature of executive backgrounds?
