LEAN LEADERSHIP: THE ART OF ASKING GOOD COACHING QUESTIONS (Wednesday, August 15th, 2018)

Do you find yourself acting as the primary problem solver on your team? Do you wish you could get more people on the team to be effective problem solvers?

The reality is, as Lean practitioners and leaders, we can’t do all of the problem raising and problem solving ourselves. We need to develop the problem-solving skills of the entire team. In this workshop, you will learn the concepts – and actually practice – asking good coaching questions to create a team of problem solvers.

In 2005 he joined Caterpillar, Inc. where he learned how to integrate process improvement with Six Sigma to increase heavy equipment sales in two Colorado territories. With a passion for education, Mike later began teaching folks how to use these simple principles themselves--first in the private sector (2009), and then later in the public sector (2012). Mike is the Senior Manager of Continuous Improvement at Denver International Airport and he previously served as the executive director for the Colorado Lean Network from 2017 - 2020.
