Cliff Williams | Good Maintenance is about Good People and Good Culture
Cliff Williams is a highly regarded Maintenance thought leader, and most recently – the Corporate Maintenance Manager at Erco Chemicals. According to Cliff, the greatest maintenance and reliability challenge remains the same: Leadership, People and so Culture!
From apprentice to the ‘exalted’ position of corporate maintenance manager and every step in between Cliff has a confession to make. “The machinery I have met along the way, whilst impressive, has been forgetable. The people I have met …. well – the good the bad and I’m sorry to say the ugly, are what I remember. They are the ones who made my life interesting, rewarding and from a career perspective, successful”.
As we talk about the techniques and tools available to maintenance managers, let’s not forget the best two – the human brain and human initiative. Cliff firmly believes if you can cultivate those two – the rest is easy.
