A coincidental meeting between our operations director Tony Flannigan and Etsko Schuitema of Schuitema Associates in 2002 started a long-term working relationship that has transformed leadership within Johnson Matthey Catalysts (JMC). At the time, Schuitema was a guest lecturer for Cambridge University’s MBA in manufacturing and Flannigan, then head of manufacturing at the Company’s Clitheroe site in Lancashire, was an MBA student. Flannigan was keen to explore leadership development models with a view to trialling them at Clitheroe. As soon as he heard about the care and growth model he knew it was the right programme for the business.
