Sustainable Leadership in Manufacturing with Kate Davies
Kate Davies, transformation consultant and founder of Rufus Wren, brings two decades of experience in engineering, manufacturing, and industrial change.
In this episode, she shares her perspective on sustainable leadership in manufacturing and why fixing culture is essential for long-term success.
We explore:
• What sustainable leadership looks like in real factories
• How to lead high-performing teams without burning them out
• Why financial success should be a byproduct, not the goal
• How to create culture change with small, actionable steps
• The biggest mistakes leaders make when trying to transform a business
Kate works closely with leadership teams to deliver practical, people-focused change. Her experience proves that sustainable leadership in manufacturing starts with listening, not spreadsheets.
