Last year, Andrea interviewed Lorenzo Simonelli, Chairman and CEO of Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, in one of his best episodes of 2022. They discussed the exciting energy transition happening in the industry and Lorenzo's perspective on navigating this change as a leader. Lorenzo stressed the need to pivot quickly, fail fast, and learn in order to adapt to constant change. He shared insights on building diverse teams, focusing on culture, effective communication, and empowering others. Lorenzo also advised aspiring leaders on self-awareness, taking feedback, and managing ambiguity. KEY TAKEAWAYS Energy is going through an exciting transition period that requires collaboration between stakeholders. Having a clear and easy-to-communicate strategy is key, but changing behaviours and culture is harder. Leaders must role model desired behaviours and make bold decisions to mobilise change. Pivoting quickly and failing fast is critical to adapting to constant change. Quiet, focused time is important for leaders to think strategically. Surround yourself with a diverse team willing to challenge you. BEST MOMENTS"It's a great time to be in energy. There is a fundamental tectonic shift and transformation occurring." "If you're going to be a good leader today, change is constant and actually looking at ambiguity as a strength." "The role of being a leader is more challenging today because of all the externalities that are happening." "No matter how confident you are...you will need a team that is with you, supporting you and aligned with you." VALUABLE RESOURCES Like the show?

Covid, Inflation, Supply Chain interruptions and more have caused very volatile markets. A&D has also seen its share of volatility…and it is ever adapting to the environment.   With the squeeze on labor, working capital and raw materials organic growth seems difficult - but not impossible.   It's a market of contradictions. The deal flow is there, but it's also a tumultuous time to borrow money. There are a lot of great contracts, but with a backed up supply chain, manufacturers don't have the capacity to fill them. How are M&A advisors helping clients through these challenges? Where are the most surprising opportunities right now?   In this episode, I'm joined by managing partners at Coeptis Consulting Group, Chuck Adams and Corbin Metz. They share why it's equally an exciting and challenging time to be in this industry, and navigating the exciting world of A&D from an entrepreneurial perspective.   Space is growing faster than people think, and there's a big renewal in focus on it, especially on the commercial side. -Chuck Adams   Things You'll Learn In This Episode   -The drive for diversification How are the companies getting pummeled by current supply chain constraints responding to these challenges?    -Private equity…a gift and a curse With an industry-wide squeeze on working capital, what are the challenges of taking the route of a strategic buyer?   -Raytheon GTF - a cause for concern Will this engine's recent setbacks affect its perceived reliability?   -Step out and bet on yourself What drove Chuck and Corbin to leave big Corporate America and venture out on their own?

Během konference Lean Summit 2022 jsme natočili 2 podcasty se 4 osobnostmi, které v oblasti lean managementu dokázali zajímavé věci, o které se s vámi během rozhovoru podělí. V tomto podcastu přinášíme rozhovor s prvními 2 hosty - Milanem Šlapákem a Jiřím Neužilem.  Jaké mají zkušenosti s implementací leanu - kde se podařilo lean přístup zavést a kde je naopak stále přístup pro zlepšení? Jak vnímají rozdíly v implementaci leanu v jednotlivých firmách? Jak motivují své zaměstnance, aby přicházeli s návrhy na zlepšení? To vše se dozvíte v tomto díle :) Milan Šlapák Milan má 20 let rozsáhlých obchodních zkušeností v oblasti taktického i strategického řízení. V současnosti působí jako prezident ve společnosti General Electric ČR & SK a také zastává pozici generálního ředitele a výkonného ředitele ve společnosti GE Aviation Turboprop, která vede samostatný P&L zahrnující intenzivní výzkum a vývoj a výrobu a služby leteckých motorů. Zastává také post viceprezidenta Americké obchodní komory. Milan začal svou kariéru u GE v roce 1999 u GE Transportation, později přešel do GE Healthcare a poté do korporátní divize General Electric jako Country Manager pro východní Evropu a severské regiony. Od roku 2009 působí ve společnosti GE Aviation. Během let působil také v zahraničí, např. v USA, Itálii, Číně a Francii. Magisterský titul v oboru Operations & Management a PhD titul v oboru E-Business získal na ČVUT v Praze. Jiří Neužil Jiří rád pracuje s lidmi a pro lidi. Po mezinárodních studiích získal zkušenosti ve společnostech Bosch a Mann+Hummel v oblastech nákupu, projektového řízení a LEAN. Nákup byl pro něj vždy orientovaný na vztahy, projektový management nebyl jen o milnících, KPI, ale opět o lidech a mezifunkčních týmech. Tato zkušenost vytvořila dobrý základ pro jeho nejnovější roli LEAN manažera. Od roku 2019 byl Jiří pověřen týmem Lean Expertů, Manažerem strategické projektové kanceláře a Mezifunkčních týmů, aby dosáhl všech cílů „Lean Transformation“ společnosti Mann+Hummel CZ. Tento závod s přibližně 1100-1200 zaměstnanci se nedávno stal LEAN modelovým závodem a školicím střediskem v rámci skupiny Mann+Hummel po celém světě. Jiří věří, že správný způsob práce s lidmi a pro lidi je klíčovým faktorem úspěchu v každém projektu i v Lean transformaci.

Lorenzo Simonelli is the Chairman, President, and CEO of Baker Hughes, a $20 billion energy technology company with 60,000 employees in 120 countries around the world. Prior to Baker Hughes Lorenzo served as President and CEO of GE Transportation, CFO of the Americas for GE Consumer & Industrial, and General Manager, Product Management for GE Appliances, Lighting, Electrical Distribution, and Motors. It is a very different experience for leaders today than it was decades ago. With the advent of social media, sites like Glassdoor, Smartphones, etc...everything they do and say is out there for the world to see and they are constantly scrutinized and analyzed. As Lorenzo shares, unlike in the past, the role of a leader now is 24/7. He is aware of the constant feedback and analysis and says he is a humble person and he tries to do the right thing on an ongoing basis. He treats people with respect and leads in a genuine way. And so when people critique him it doesn't get to him as much, because he is comfortable in his own skin and he knows he is doing his best. He believes that as long as leaders are leading in a respectful and authentic way and as long as they are driving the company forward, keeping all stakeholders at the forefront, then after that you need to be comfortable and confident in yourself. Don't take criticism too much to heart. “I've always felt it was important to have a balance, and I will work hard. And I will always try and do the best thing at the same time. Like all other humans, you've got only so much you can do. And that's what I put into perspective as well. I don't have all the right answers. I don't know everything. But I'll always do the best for the company.” What it was like working with Jack Welch and Jeff Immelt at GE Lorenzo worked at GE in various roles for around 20 years and he had the opportunity to work with both Jack Welch and Jeff Immelt. He says working with both of them was a great learning experience and they had a huge influence on who he is as a leader today. He was able to see both of them in action and learned different skills from them. He shared a story of a time when he was conducting his first project for Jack and he had to give a presentation. At the time Lorenzo was around 20 years old and being that this was his first major interaction with Jack he was very nervous. He walked into the conference room and he was surrounded by Jack and other corporate staff and he began to sweat, he was so uncomfortable. When Lorenzo started to present Jack could sense his nervousness and immediately he said “Stop, stop.” This startled Lorenzo and he was confused. He had just started presenting, there's no way he could have screwed up already. But Jack wasn't upset, he said “With a name like Lorenzo and an English accent, you've got to explain your story before you start.” And that was the ice breaker that Lorenzo needed to be able to breath and calm down before continuing with his presentation. This is something Lorenzo has taken with him as a leader. It's an important skill to be able to read how people are feeling and to help them get to a place where they can shine. During the 2008-2009 financial crisis Lorenzo was leading a GE transportation business and because of the tough times he had to call Jeff and tell him that they had lost all of their volume. Lorenzo recalls Jeff being very understanding and telling him take what you can control and do what's right, at the end of the day that's all I can ask of you. I can't ask you to control externalities that you don't have a bearing on. Jeff was supportive and kind as a leader in a really difficult time, and that's something that Lorenzo has taken from him. Leading in tough times Making difficult decisions as a leader is never pleasant, but as Lorenzo shares, you have to be honest, drive the company forward, and make sure the company is going to be there when things get better. Lorenzo recalls something a mentor once told him and that is, “The worst thing you can do in a crisis is hide in your own office, because everybody is confused and the leader needs to be out there, and actually giving a direction and giving clarity.” Lorenzo has always approached a crisis as an opportunity to engage in a dialogue and build camaraderie. Your people have to understand the reasons behind the decisions you are making as a leader. You will not always be popular for the decisions you make, but people will trust you and respect you for keeping them informed and involved in the process. As a leader you also have to be comfortable with managing ambiguity, you can't look flustered. Lorenzo says, “People don't necessarily expect you to know all the answers. Clearly, the pandemic was something many of us were facing for the first time. And we had to be agile and navigate the pandemic. But if you provide a sense of ease, and a sense of just communication, and comfort, people will come along, and you will solve it as you go along.” He says the worst thing you can do is get flustered, because people will see that and they won't trust you to make the right decision. You may not know what to do in a given moment, but you have to stay calm, come up with a rational response, and communicate with employees. Get all the information you can, and then make the best decision possible. You may not always get it right, but you will be making progress and moving forward. Lorenzo's evolution as a leader There was a time in Lorenzo's career when he admits he was more of a command and control type leader. He thought he could do it all himself and he micromanaged people. But over time his leadership style has changed. The change has come about because he listened to the feedback coming from employees and peers and really taking it to heart. Listening is such an important skill to have as a leader. In order to truly take feedback and make changes you also have to be vulnerable and self aware. It's also critical to let people know you appreciate feedback so that they continue to give it in an open and honest way. Lorenzo's advice for leaders Now more than ever it is important for leaders to stand for something and to stand for what the company believes in. As a leader at an energy technology company, Lorenzo believes that Baker Hughes can really help reduce the carbon footprint and provide safe, reliable energy for people around the world. And that is something he speaks up about and something that he takes a stand for. Every decision he makes is based on that belief. He says, “I'll also say I think leaders need to be a voice for the underrepresented and also for the way in which the globe needs to continue to evolve. And that's why diversity and inclusion is so important. Because if we don't say it as leaders, then how will it evolve? And that's the best decisions we know, are made when you actually have variation and diversity of thought. And that comes through the D&I as well.” The speed at which things are changing in the world has sped up, and so leaders also need to be agile. You have to be able to move fast and pivot when needed. “We know the end goals, but how you're going to get there can vary day in and day out, and also different roads that you take. And we look at the external world, we look at what's happening, and we pivot accordingly. And so instead of it being one big marathon, it's actually short sprints that get you along that way. And that's the way in which we've been through this journey.” ------------ This episode is sponsored by my friends over at Perceptyx Perceptyx helps enterprises get a clear picture of their employee experience with a continuous listening and people analytics platform aligned to key business goals.

Max Acevedo or Maximiliano for those who don’t know him, is currently a Senior Product Designer at Devbridge. He has worked for companies like GE Transportation and HP. He has a degree in Industrial Design and a Master's in Design Management. Max helps research and develop complex design systems that resolve various urban, digital, and physical problems. Honestly, he knows about this a lot more than I do, and that’s why I am so excited to have him here today. He’s also the Co-Founder of Two Under, a golf clothing company that sponsors young ambassadors of the sports. It’s not surprising, taking into account his professional Golfing experience. In this episode, Max goes deep into what Good design really is, he explains how to conduct research that matters and even walks us through his creative process. Max is an open book of information, and after my talk with him, I learned that I am not as thorough as I thought I was when it comes to research. Tune in and find out more about successful services and why products that seem good fail on the market. Oh, and before I forget, if you haven’t already, please subscribe to the podcast.

Thomas Lott, an adherent to Graham and Dodd/Buffett style investing, joins the Marketplace Roundtable Podcast to discuss his strategy as reflected in the Cash Flow Compounders service. Lott seeks companies that have the ability to compound earnings per share better than market rates over an extended period of time. In this case at least 8%, which is more than the 6% annual average in the S&P 500 since 2015. It's not just about earnings growth, however. Investment-grade balance sheets, higher return on equity, high margins, and stocks that didn't lose material value during the Great Recession are additional factors that go into Lott's screen. Right now he has a list of "about 100 names" that he considers "best in class" and an additional list of 200 second-tier stocks. The critical decision is choosing an entry point for investing. Here Lott tracks prices to identify when stocks trade cheaply "to their typical trading patterns." He ranks the 100 names on a daily basis using "four or five metrics" and then does more fundamental work "to figure out if this is something I want to own." Right now, Lott sees markets "kind of at an inflection point" where there could soon be a shift from growth back to value stocks. One of his favorite ideas right now is Wabtec Corp. (WAB), a manufacturer of locomotives and locomotive parts that recently acquired GE Transportation. There are several factors that go into his thesis, all of which are discussed on the podcast starting around 19:31.

Martin O’Neill, is the Senior Executive for Engine Technology at GE Transportation. Martin joins Jim and Jan in a discussion about innovation and leadership, and how they’re connected and intertwined. Listen in to learn more about how Martin balances the divergence of  structure and organization with experimentation and expansion.   Key Takeaways [6:12] When you are working with large scale industrial product development, there is typically a type of mindset that has been around for years that has little to do with leadership. Martin and his team have shifted to different practices to pursue an innovation agenda. [13:56] Martin manages the collaboration of others all around the globe. He overcomes challenges of different time zones and work times by clearly laying out what is expected and when for every member. Structure is also very important, and they have operating reviews on a strict and consistent schedule. He spends time up front explaining clearly what is expected. [20:56] Not only is Martin dealing with the different cultures due to geographic span, but the culture within the engineers is something he makes sure is structured and organized. [28:36] Martin really drives home the point of self informing and continuous learning to the new engineers. [32:52] Martin is not afraid to celebrate the failures of projects they need to kill and views it as a learning lesson and way to veer off stagnation. [35:53] The rally call should always be on customer outcome, customer value and business value proposition. [36:24] Engineers used to be much more autonomous, but now there is a shift away from traditional thinking and a move towards horizontal work and collaboration.   Website: www.getransportation.com LinkedIn: GE Transportation Twitter: @GETRANSPORT Facebook: GE TRANSPORTATION Quotable Quotes “You have to be bold.”   “A little bit of personality goes a long way.”   “Allow people some self governance and a way to correct themself.”   Correct Thyself   “Kill the stuff that isn’t so important.”   “You have duty as a leader to fish out what’s really not adding value and put it down publicly, humanely and move on.”   “True innovations come from when you start to work horizontally.”   Bio   Martin O’Neill has worked in transportation, aviation, marine propulsion and energy segments for over 20 years; most recently with General Electric.

In this session, GE Transportation reviews this capability and discusses its process for implementing the solution. Attendees also learn reusable design patterns using AWS managed services that can be applied in a self-service model to scale efficiently across the enterprise.
