Moving business toward human-focused impact | AW Schultz | TEDxTullahoma

The concept of Industrial 5.0 sounds revolutionary. Combining technology with a human-centric approach is exactly what we need for a sustainable future 🙌

It’s refreshing to hear a leader recognize the value of our input. Too often, management makes decisions without considering how they affect us on the floor and you can tell those people haven't done any of the "real" work for years

[sheilalindsay]

I love the focus on sustainability and a human-centric approach! It’s about time industries take responsibility for their environmental impact. Change starts at the grassroots level!

[elisbrokli]

Shoutout to his boss for solid coaching after the condiment catastrophe. That's proper leadership right there - developing your people even when they mess up.

[IAmShootCute]

Industrial 5.0 is new to me but I'm here for it. We've gotta balance all the fancy tech with human needs and the environment. He broke it down really well.

[liamperry]

Loved the part about empowering teams and focusing on long-term goals! Truly inspiring how shifting from output to quality and safety can make such a difference.

[shastahasta]

The need for a balanced framework that combines all these qualities makes sense and I'm interested to see how this evolves!

[nohadiesl]

Your story about transforming your leadership style was really powerful. It’s a great reminder that personal growth often comes from challenging experiences

[WhitePaperAdvertising]

This is a really cool idea... when you prioritize your staff they prioritize the job. Simple enough but it's amazing how many companies get that wrong

[thanawatdangprasert]

I hope to see lots of businesses taking this approach!

[briannestory]

This resonates so much with my experience! I’ve seen how involving frontline workers leads to innovative solutions we never considered. We can’t afford to overlook their insights.

[evanesterneg]

I agree the emphasis should be on the team, always. They're the ones who see what's happening day to day and if they're being supported they're more likely to speak up about how to improve things

[vivashus]

Interesting take on how distractions can lead to significant life and career changes. Definitely a good reminder of the importance of staying focused but then again the growth from going through those mistakes also seems beneficial!

[andersonaimes]

Imagine if we could unleash the full power of that disengaged 77% - we'd be unstoppable! Empowered employees are incredible

[astridableman]

Challenge accepted - I'm def asking my team for ideas on sustainability. Can't wait to see what brilliant stuff they bring to the table!

[karlmarxismydad]

way more motivating than the doom and gloom you usually hear with this stuff.

[esmeraldaximena]

I really connected with his personal stories about being distracted. I've totally been there and it's so true how lack of focus can lead to major screw-ups.

[iamtherealdeal]

This is awesome! I think a lot of leaders would be surprised by how willing their team is to suggest solutions. I used to work in a warehouse and the amount of unnecessary packing and rubbish was heartbreaking. Would have loved the chance to tell my bosses (and suppliers!!) how to cut down on all of that

[May-Purple]

Makes sense you need that top-level support and alignment to really make this stuff happen. Gotta have all the pieces working together.

[SianaMcallen]

Amazing work Aaron!! Such a great talk!
