About Phil Forte

Strategic multi-site business professional skilled at building high performance work teams through the employment of continuous improvement, incorporating lean manufacturing and six sigma principles in concert with operational innovation. Proven background in developing organizational leadership skill sets designed to build empowerment through sound judgement and accountability. Working my way up to a senior level leader through multiple management positions gives me the unique perspective of understanding the interconnectedness of all departments from my own experience in each area. This provides a solid foundation for empowerment leadership, with keen awareness of each department’s vital contribution. I lead by example, with the adaptability to adjust to changes and flexibility to shift course upon receipt of new information, coaching my team toward a culture of change and creative responses. Determining task delegation opens opportunities for success.
