6. Jeff Cockerton Testimony to Value
“Jeff is an extremely dedicated individual who has Customer and
Employee at heart. He is an excellent leader who realizes the
value of people and how to make the most of one's abilities. His
knowledge of Business is very high and manages the balance
between Customer Values and Business Interests seamlessly. His
knowledge of Lean and the reasons why Lean doesn't work in
many cases makes him an outstanding choice as a GM. I
recommend Jeff with the highest regard.”
