Gemba Academy Podcast: Lean Six Sigma | Toyota Kata | Productivity | Leadership
Most organizations have a strategy. Far fewer can actually execute one. Michael Caito built and sold a food delivery business decades before DoorDash existed, then spent years helping other companies close the gap between where leaders want to go and where they actually end up. His diagnosis is consistent: the gap is almost always an accountability problem, and accountability is almost always the leader’s problem first. The conversation with Ron covers what CEOs truly own, how to know whether you have a strategy issue or an execution issue, and why the cadence of your team meetings matters more than most leaders want to admit.
“Performance is visible and the person that’s not performing or hitting their goals, they’re not gonna be comfortable working there.” – Michael Caito
If Michael’s point about building a real management cadence around goal-setting and performance visibility resonated, the School of Leadership offers structured ways to develop exactly those skills across your organization.
