Most executives lead Lean transformations using the same leadership beliefs, behaviors, and competencies they relied on throughout their traditional leadership careers. That, more than any technical shortfall, is why so many Lean transformation efforts produce disappointing results.
Practical Lean Leadership offers executives a step-by-step guide to closing that gap. Built on years of industry practice and research recognized by the University of Toyota, it presents a coherent leadership development process from fundamental concepts through daily practice and performance feedback.
The book introduces the frameworks Lean Behaviors®, Behavioral Waste®, Continuous Personal Improvement™, and Standardized Work for Executive Leadership. along with an improved definition of leadership, a chapter on fifty common errors, and value stream mapping applied to leadership itself.
Self-study exercises close each chapter, and a detachable visual control card consolidates the key concepts for daily reference. A workbook built for doing, not just reading.
