Leadership Development Training and Programming
Overview
Leadership is the ability to translate vision into reality, and good leaders inspire others to follow them to where the organization needs to go in order to succeed. But, as we say in TWI Job Relations, “A person with no followers is not a leader,” no matter what title you give yourself. Just because you’re the “boss” does not necessarily mean you are the “leader.”
Many people make the incorrect assumption that leadership skill and acumen is something a person is born with – you either have it or you don’t. However, leadership can be learned. TWI Institute has a long track record of developing essential leadership training programs and teaching the skills that transform ambitious workers into a dynamic leaders.
Our strength, and your greatest value, is building the right foundation for your leadership team. Our training programs – TWI, Kata and Standardized Work – generate results by advancing leadership skills and developing strong relationships between supervisors and workers. The work we do with you and your teams provides the ideal foundation or complement to current or planned Lean, continuous improvement, kaizen, operational excellence or talent development initiatives.
