In this episode of the WLEI podcast, LEI speaks with Billy Taylor, former operations executive at Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. He is now President of LinkedXL and author of The Winning Link: a Proven Process to Define, Align, and Execute Strategy at Every Level.
In our discussion, we explore:

Billy’s approach to scaling a management system from a single plant to multiple plants across North America through intense collaboration with plant leaders.
The current challenges of retaining employees due to changing workforce mindsets post-COVID and how to re-engage workers.
