Trust:

The key tenant for organizational improvement is trust. In a LEAN organization, employees must feel empowered to speak up and make recommendations for process change and improvement. Trust must exist between leaders and employees. Trust is foundational in Covenant Leadership™ .
Building trust requires focus on your people and the commitment to help them improve.

This requires treating them with respect
and dignity - a foundation of Covenant Leadership™

Stability:

Another required element for success in a LEAN or Six Sigma environment; stability is contingent upon the creation of a framework within which a company operates. A stable organization cannot exist without trust, leadership, commitment, and a belief by employees that they are empowered to make change within their piece of the organization. Empowerment cannot happen without mutual trust - a key tenant of Covenant Leadership™

Employee Satisfaction:

LEAN or Six Sigma initiatives will not achieve maximum success unless employee satisfaction levels are sufficient to sustain the program. These philosophies require buy-in from the workforce. Organizations must have a foundational work environment that satisfies and motivates team members. Employees will only identify problems and generate effective solutions if there exists an environment of trust and a belief the company and its leadership truly cares about employee satisfaction.

Covenant Leadership™ provides employees and the company's
leadership the framework to create foundational relationships that maximize the
effectiveness of other initiatives through higher
employee satisfaction levels.

Job Satisfaction = Life Satisfaction = Job Satisfaction

Covenant Leadership focuses on the positive relationships between job, life, and community. Our program teaches that weaknesses in just one area of this triad will negatively effect the employee and their contribution to the organization. Covenant Leadership™ training educates your mid-level manager about this relationship and how it will increase empowerment levels within your organization.

LEAN and Six Sigma require empowered leaders and employees.
Cutlass Leadership Solutions Covenant Leadership™ training
develops an understanding within your team how to create these
empowered environments.

Job Mastery:

Job Mastery will occur at a much greater rate in an environment where employees feel empowered by their own improvement. When front line leaders act as "Coaches" rather than dictators the entire organizational climate changes and encourages employees to recommend process improvement and buy-in to process improvement programs. This creates a workforce that is much more aware of what is going on around them, maximizing LEAN or Six Sigma initiatives - all of which require recommendations from those closest to the work.

Covenant Leadership™ Training provides the tools to help your
managers create these situations.
