Bryce Currie, Chief Manufacturing Officer, proves it by shutting his phone off for three weeks a year, because a distracted leader sends the message that the people in the room aren't the priority. In this segment, he breaks down the systems behind the presence: leader standard work, the plants-per-month target on his office wall, one skip level a week to learn from people four and five layers down, being reverse mentored by a 26-year-old on data lakes at GE, and the spinning wheel at his Wednesday plant managers meeting that keeps everyone on their game. This is accountability as something positive, not blame.
There's a lot more where this came from.

The Automotive Leaders Podcast is hosted by Jan Griffiths, the champion for culture change in the automotive industry. From a farm in Wales to the C-suite of a $3 billion Tier-1 supplier, Jan built her career inside this industry. Now she's out to transform it.
Her argument is blunt. The pressure on this industry isn't letting up. The survivors will be the ones who reinvent how they work. Speed wins. Everyone else gets left behind.
Every episode, Jan sits down with the leaders driving that change. Real conversations about tariffs, supply chain shocks, EV uncertainty, AI, and the shift from command-and-control to authentic, human-centered leadership.
