Sun, 27 Jun 2021 14:30:00 +0000

How can a process-driven engineer lead a team without prior training? It’s a scenario common in many organisations. We promote the best person into a management position and fail in one thing—we don’t equip them enough to master the yin and yang of business: the people and the processes.

Whilst working as an engineer at Holden, Jeremy witnessed the company undergo a massive cultural change—the entire workforce was being transitioned due to a significant downsizing. A few years later, he found himself in a different role, at a different company with a completely different culture. Without any solid mentor, he was left to navigate the complexities of leadership on his own.

In the sixth episode of The People Shift podcast, Cybill Juarez and Jamie Getgood sit down with Jeremy Allen-Waters as he shares his first leadership experience, how continuous improvement plays a big role in empowering his team at Vinidex and how his Holden experience shaped him into the people-focused leader he is today.
