Reliability Management and Leadership
podcast episode with speaker Fred Schenkelberg
Did you know that you do not need to be a manager to be a leader. And, many managers are not very good leaders. What does it take to manage and/or lead a reliability improvement effort in an organization. If your organization already produces very reliable products, how do you keep it that way? Likewise, if you recognize the reliability performance could be better, what should you do.
Let’s talk about the difference between management and leadership, and how you can play an effective role as both a manager and a leader focused on improving reliability outcomes. Where to start, how to build a team, and how to get results.
This Accendo Reliability webinar was originally broadcast on 14 April 2026.
