REAL LEAN (Volume Four) reframes Lean as a craft, something executives must practice daily, at the genba, to gain real proficiency, not a set of ideas absorbed from books alone. Continuing the series' emphasis on the too often ignored "Respect for People" principle, this volume gathers the essential facets of the craft that practitioners must master to genuinely succeed.
This book helps readers by:
- Committing To Deliberate Practice. Establishes that Lean mastery, like any craft, demands sustained, disciplined practice, dispelling the fantasy of quick, easy transformation.
- Learning Before Crisis Hits. Urges organizations to build Lean capability when times are good, rather than desperately reaching for it when trouble arrives.
- Developing the Ability to Think. Centers the real work of Lean on developing judgment and reasoning, not memorizing tools.
- Breaking the Cycle of Repeated Errors. Confronts the habit of "making the same mistake" and shows how learning from the past prevents its repetition.
- Refusing to Aim Low. Challenges the modest, unambitious goals that limit results, pushing leaders toward genuinely transformative expectations.
- Recognizing the Eighth Waste. Names behavioral waste – the wasteful, disrespectful behaviors often shown by leaders – as the overlooked eighth waste that quietly undermines Lean.
- Managing the Other Information System. Surfaces the human, informal information system that formal systems miss, and its importance to real improvement.
- Escaping "One Step Forward, Eleven Back." Diagnoses the regressive dynamics that erase hard-won gains and how to counter them.
- Practicing Ethical Management. Frames Lean as an inherently ethical management system, tying "Respect for People" to fairness and non-zero-sum conduct.
- Setting Policies for Learning. Offers concrete organizational policies that institutionalize continuous learning rather than leaving it to chance.
- Answering the Hard Questions. Tackles the pointed questions practitioners must resolve and distills the craft into "Twelve Rules" as a practical capstone.
Concluding with an afterword that ties the first four volumes together, this book treats Lean not as knowledge to acquire but as a discipline to practice for a lifetime. For leaders and practitioners ready to move from reading about Lean to genuinely mastering it, Volume Four is the craftsman's guide.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Biblios, frankfurt am main, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
