About This Podcast

You're an executive in a mission-critical industry. You know your organization is capable of more. So why settle for mediocrity when your team can be great? The Factory Doctor brings you the non-obvious insights and hard-won lessons that help you uncover hidden weaknesses, amplify your strengths, and lead your business toward something greater. Join your host Alex Krutz - the Factory Doctor and former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Manufacturing at the U.S. Commerce Department - as he sits down with growth-oriented leaders across manufacturing and heavy industries across the transportation, machinery defense, energy and technology. Every episode goes deep in three areas: Leadership, Strategy, and Industrial Policy. You'll walk away with fresh perspectives and actionable ideas you can bring back to your organization. Greatness doesn't happen by accident. It happens because leaders like you decided to pursue it.
