Part 1: Close Up Radio Spotlights Susan Schall of SOS Consulting

Front Royal, VA – Susan Schall is the Founder and Lead Consultant of SOS Consulting, where she works with manufacturing leaders to maximize their leadership potential and improve organizational health and performance.

Susan held a variety of technical and leadership roles at RR Donnelley, GE Lighting, DuPont and Kodak prior to starting SOS Consulting. She draws on her forty years of experience of working in manufacturing, higher education and non-profits to write numerous papers on organizational health and continuous quality improvement. She has been recognized with numerous awards, including by her professional society, the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE), with the Medallion Award in 2018 and Fellow in 2020.

Her true love and passion is working with small and mid-sized manufacturers to help them flourish. She says it’s these smaller companies that are the backbone of our communities.

Susan is also a masterful leadership coach helping emerging leaders develop their leadership potential, enhance visionary thinking, and equip them with the skills they need to create healthy organizations. Because only the right leadership team can foster a positive, efficient, and successful work environment, Susan prepares the next generation of leaders in the manufacturing industry.

It’s also no big secret that women are significantly underrepresented in manufacturing and Susan encourages women to seek out the many opportunities available to them. Manufacturing companies offer many career paths for women, she says, and not just on the factory floor.
