Bio
Glenn Stockard
While working with Todd Lokash at Trinity Industries in Dallas, TX, I experienced his excellent leadership style and ability to change a disorganized and non-functional work place, build cohesive teams, and focus manufacturing process and people to make significant changes that drastically improved productivity and worker satisfaction. Plant retooling record was set, production costs dramatically reduced, and capital projects undertaken to improve production and facility. Todd establish a trusting work environment, actively listened to employees, carefully evaluated situations, and involved the team in the process. Learning new skills from those for which I work has always been a tremendous value to me, and I was constantly learning while working for Todd, from continuous improvement, management skills, process improvement, and purpose and integrity.
