The toughest challenge many six sigma leaders face is getting buy-in. A plant is working at 105%; a business is quite profitable–how do you get that plant manager or business leader to consider using six sigma as a tool to do even better. Like it or not, there are politics to ideas in every organization. Good ideas, like six sigma, don’t sell themselves. Instead, you have to advocate for them.

You’ll learn very specific tactics for more effectively influencing others in conversations and meetings.
