“The Agile Change Lean Sigma 5.0 Certification is highly recommended, it is the perfect recipe for those who are looking to improve not only production related processes, but also all kind of processes. Alex has been able to integrate 5 methodologies into 1. This new methodology accomplishes what the others can´t do independently: make improvements last and stay in place even after the project has been completed. This methodology is very robust and through a very structured approach makes it faster to achieve improvements. It covers everything from selecting the problem, selecting the right team members, the process to analyze the problem, and the brainstorming of solutions until the implementation of changes. Something important is that this methodology is so flexible that it can be learned by professionals that are just starting in the continuous improvement journey. Thanks Alex, for sharing your vast professional experience with us.”
– Francisco Vargas Gonzales, General Manager at Sistemas de Administración General

I’ve attended many seminar trainings in my 15 years of working, and I think Leadership 5.0 should be listed as the first training that a leader, supervisor, manager or any other higher-ranking officials must take. This training was unique, very encouraging and you will learn a lot to be a good leader and also a good person. Not just you will learn, on how to be a good leader, it will also show you on what type of leader you are. As you learn more about yourself, on what type of leader are you, you will learn also how to deal with other type of leaders. The presentation of materials are easy to understand and its outlined systematically, so that the students can learn step by step. The instructor/ CEO Mr. Alex Cano is very approachable, polite and very knowledgeable with regards to what he is teaching and because also of his many years of experience. I was very thankful that I was part of this training that was given by our GM, Mr. Ken Chandler. I learn a lot in this training and not just my knowledge grows, but also I learn to be a good leader. Thank you and I appreciate this Leadership 5.0 Training.”

– Paul Seralde, Sr. Electrical Test Tech, Crown Texas

“Alex Cano’s Leadership 5.0 Certification is an invaluable training program that will bring value added to the company or team that is fortunate enough to have the dimensions of leadership, management, communications, and purpose, honed and tempered to achieve a long-lasting success.  The success will not only be lasting, but it will also be impactful individually, companywide, throughout the surrounding community, and globally.  

Mr. Cano’s Leadership 5.0 training should be a requirement of any company’s training matrix and should include every employee in the company.  This training will improve the overall performance of the company employees by enabling team members to understand themselves and their coworkers better, allowing for more effective communication, which will improve results and goals.

There are many important facets of Leadership 5.0 training that I personally find to be extremely useful and effective.  The most fundamental of these facets is understanding yourself.  Self-understanding is the first step to the second lesson, which is understanding others.  These are the first two important lessons in Leadership 5.0 training that will drive company employees to be more effective communicators and leaders.  Once this foundation has been established by Mr. Cano’s Leadership 5.0 training, we will move forward to determining the goals, purpose, and values of the company.  This was a facet that I previously overlooked and found to be of the utmost importance to the company’s growth and success.  Without a clearly stated target, we will not have a direction to move towards.  Leadership 5.0 training is continuing to have a significant effect on the employees of Crown Texas, Inc.  I hear other team members communicating on the production floor and citing the training we received and implementing those techniques in a real-world environment.  I am pleased to hear my coworkers citing what type of communication style is better suited for which personality type as we learned in Alex Cano’s Leadership 5.0 training.  I am better equipped now to handle the communication and problem solving that is necessary in a fast-moving and dynamic production environment because of the training I received from Mr. Cano. 

I would strongly recommend Leadership 5.0 training to any company or organization that is serious about success, longevity, and sustainability.  This training is an investment that will pay dividends in the form of results; results that will translate to producing a winning team.”

– A.J. Bagheri,  Senior Lead- Enclosures Department, Crown Texas Inc
