Manufacturing leaders are trained in technical skills—but rarely encouraged to develop leadership skills. Then one day, they’re promoted to lead people, strategy, and culture—yet equipped mostly for process and performance.

Research from Gallup, McKinsey, and The Leadership Circle shows the impact: manufacturing leaders rank lowest across 25 industries in leadership effectiveness. The result? High technical capability, but limited influence, low trust, and slow cultural transformation.

This session explores leadership capabilities that truly drive performance—the ones that separate strong managers from exceptional leaders:

• Influence – channeling and directing energy to move ideas and people forward.
• Inspire – setting a clear vision and North Star that rallies teams.
• Impact – executing well-led strategies that deliver measurable results.

When leaders learn to lead through Influence, Inspiration, and Impact, it transforms not only their results—but their culture, collaboration, and credibility.

Jackie Peterson, founder of Lift Bridge Leadership and a former Fortune 500 global manufacturing and engineering executive, is an Executive Consultant, Leadership Strategist, and Speaker. She combines a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin, an M.S. in Management of Technology from the University of Minnesota, and ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credentials with decades of executive experience to help manufacturing leaders engage their organizations, elevate performance, and deliver lasting business results.

Through Lift Bridge Leadership, Jackie partners with organizations to elevate technical leaders into strategic, people-centered executives—building clarity, connection, and capability that bridge strategy and execution.
