Earlier this month, my colleagues attended the American Coatings Show in Indianapolis. We spoke with leaders throughout the paints & coatings value chain, including coatings companies, resin producers, pigment manufacturers and additives suppliers, and summarize several key themes: 1) The paint and coatings business cycle is beginning to normalize 2) Uncertainty remains in the short-term, especially around timing of "re-stocking" 3) Sustainability is driving material changes, including the adoption of bio-based alternatives 4) Regulations and sustainability concerns are driving the shift away from conflict metals (yesterday was the switch away from lead, today it's the switch away from cobalt and tin) 5) Formulators are focused on production efficiency and are beginning to use AI to improve processes Happy to discuss with clients the ongoing trends in the industry, what the implications are of these trends, and what opportunities are emerging.

Happy Earth Day 2024! At The Lubrizol Corporation we know that smart choices can partner the Planet AND Plastics for a sustainable, safe and healthy future. Not all plastic pollutes. Without plastics we can't make wind blades, EVs, charging stations, cell phones, laptops, safety equipment or medical devices. Our shared journey to a more sustainable future will require innovation in polymer science that enhances the circularity of the plastics we do need, while each of us makes better choices in our daily lives about the plastics we don't need. #EarthDay2024 #PanetANDPlastics #SustainableInnovation

Does your company grow with you? Here is what I’ve experienced and my challenge to those reviewing their current company for fit as I celebrate 6 years at The Lubrizol Corporation. While the company has changed so much during my tenure- I have too. In the last six years I went from Technology, Applications, & Service Lab Manager to Global Culture Program Manager to New Business Development Manager to Sr. Manager of Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity in Action (IDEA) to Sr. Manager of Culture, Engagement & IDEA. Does your company offer the flexibility to move like that? I went from 3 degrees to 5 with Lubrizol supporting both my MBA and my DBA. And completed multiple leadership programs at Lubrizol. Will they invest in you? Won our company’s prestigious Luminary Award for striving to be better every day.But even more than that-my peers, co-workers, and leaders take time to recognize me in all the little ways. Do they recognize you? I’ve enjoyed some of the best leaders I could have ever asked for. What some might even classify as “enlightened” leaders, that taught by example and trust: Derek Phillips , Cheree Aspelin , Mike Fornes , David Szabo , Lesley Muscarnero Do you have leaders that give you their best and teach you how to enable others to be their best? I’ve also went through numerous life changes into including adding two small humans to my portfolio alongside of countless friends from Lubrizol. Honestly too many amazing people to name in one post. Do you have people who genuinely care about you at work outside of your daily deliverables? Life is about how you live it and enjoy it-if you don’t-ask yourself some of those questions and make some choices. Enjoy the ride-as my friend from Leadership Circles says Ricky Woofter Shreyasi Lahiri

Driving Change and Transforming Culture: My Leadership Approach 🌍🚀 I've consistently focused on leading transformative changes within manufacturing, coatings, and chemical organizations. My leadership approach centers on three key strategies: building strong relationships, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, and driving operational excellence. Building Strong Relationships 🤝: I prioritize open communication and trust by engaging directly with team members and stakeholders at all levels. Through one-on-one conversations and regular feedback, I identify allies, understand concerns, and align our objectives to achieve common goals. Fostering a Culture of Continuous Improvement 🔄: By implementing frameworks like Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma, I empower teams to embrace continuous improvement. I focus on creating a culture where everyone is encouraged to challenge the status quo, innovate, and drive efficiency through structured processes like Leadership Standard Work, Gemba walks, and A3 problem-solving. Driving Operational Excellence 📈: I lead by example, ensuring clarity in roles, responsibilities, and expectations. By establishing rigorous performance management systems, such as Daily Management and Visual Management Boards, I ensure that every team member is accountable for their contributions toward achieving key performance indicators (KPIs). My commitment is to help organizations unlock their full potential by aligning people, processes, and performance with strategic goals. If you're looking for a leader who can navigate complex challenges and drive sustainable growth, let's connect! #Leadership #ChangeManagement #ContinuousImprovement #OperationalExcellence #LeanManufacturing #Transformation #Manufacturing #ChemicalIndustry #CoatingsIndustry #Innovation #Efficiency #GrowthMindset #FutureOfWork

This video is a powerful reminder of how essential it is to make plastics more #circular. Together, we're transforming plastic waste into valuable resources. The real game-changer? Technology, especially #AI! With enhanced optical sorting, digital watermarks, and AI-driven systems, we’re sorting materials more efficiently and accurately than ever. At Dow, we’re harnessing these innovations to supercharge recycling, cut down contamination, and drive circularity forward.
