Bruce Hawkins Owner-Manager-Talent Optimization Leader
Possessing a background in leadership and leadership development in lean organizational environments has given me a solid foundation in individual and team development dynamics spanning my entire career.
Utilizing The Predictive Index™ in a number of leadership roles since 2007 has been a game changer and given me the unique experience of tactically integrating talent optimization with lean organizational structure and thinking. Merging strategic leadership development processes and lean cultural dynamics to build teams and facilitate individual development.
People are the heart of an organization and I have been fortunate enough to have worked under and with some exceptional leaders throughout my career who lived that core value. My experience has brought me to the point of being able to make an even greater impact as an Independent Consultant and a Certified Partner with The Predictive Index™.
Culture is everything and the idea of "Better Work, Better World" resonates so very strongly with the lean journey that I have had the opportunity to be a part of in a number of manufacturing environments throughout the years.
From Tier 1 high volume repetitive automotive manufacturing to OEM Job Shop environments. The same core principles and structures are at the heart of "optimization" of an organizational structure. There is a way that things work to make "Better Work, Better World" a reality. No matter the business, industry or organization.
I am fortunate enough to be able to share my experience and the “Power of PI” to help organizations do just that!
