Leading a team of diverse and talented professionals is tough. Cohabiting with superiors, colleagues, clients, and suppliers is no picnic either. That motivated me to share with you some of the effective leadership strategies that I have learned and applied in my career.

Pharmaceutical packaging is not just about putting pills in bottles and blister packs. If you happen to be a pharma manufacturer, you sure know how jarring it is to package your products.

You have to deal with strict regulations, high standards, and complex supply chains.

You have to balance the needs of your customers, your stakeholders, and your regulators in a fierce market.

The cosmetics industry is undergoing a huge transformation. Wellness, diversity, and sustainability are taking a front seat. As are the latest advances in tech manufacturing. Are you part of the emerging trends that are turning heads in how product creation and sampling are being experienced?

Have you ever wondered about the final disposition of the growing number of electric vehicle (EV) batteries that will need replacement in the near future?

You are not alone. In fact, that’s one of the biggest environmental challenges rocking the automotive industry. Even more now that EVs continue to lead as a popular means of transportation for those seeking to cut their carbon footprint and save money on fuel.

Manufacturing is a male-dominated industry. Not long ago, the mere idea of championing women in leadership roles in this “testosterone-packed” environment was deemed laughable. Regrettably, many still share that feeling. Many still fail to recognize women’s leadership as a force to be reckoned with. Even more in manufacturing, a place where men have the upper hand.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are close to breaking a new barrier. Selling one million units by the end of 2023! If reached, the milestone would be a first for the electric car industry on North American soil. By now, even the most vocal naysayers must acknowledge EV’s rising—and seemingly unstoppable—popularity in the modern car market.

We are often taught, back in school or college, that a fair balance between imports (buying goods or services from abroad) and exports (selling domestic goods or services to other countries) is one of the backbones of a healthy economy.

A lot is going on in the news these days. Still, there was a particular story that stood out the most for me. It made a case for how past mistakes in manufacturing ended up costing millions of jobs in America to this day.
