Event Overview Satisfied with your Leadership Skills? Don’t miss this opportunity to hone those skills in this information-packed program. Take a moment and ask yourself if you have to deal with these challenges. Do you have difficulty winning support for improvement efforts? Do you struggle to justify staffing-current levels or additions? Are you faced with shrinking maintenance budgets in the face of worsening equipment conditions? Have you been searching for the best way to energize your maintenance crafts? Are you new in a supervisory or management position and want to do a great job? Have you been looking for the right metrics to measure and display progress? Are you under the gun by management to improve efficiency and lower costs but unsure of how to approach the daunting task? Where to start? What to do? If you are facing any of these issues, this is the course for you. Why? Our feedback indicates that many maintenance supervisors and managers do not have a thorough understanding of basic maintenance practices, but even worse, have far less knowledge of leadership practices. From this awareness, Strategic Maintenance Leadership was born to close that gap.
