nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Lean management is a craft, not a toolkit-and like any craft, it takes roughly 10,000 hours of daily practice to learn.That is the central argument of this fourth volume of REAL LEAN series, written for senior executives who want to understand why most Lean efforts stall and what it actually takes to succeed.The book introduces the 'Emiliani Method' for estimating the cost of conventional management practice, develops the concept of behavioral waste, and examines the often-overlooked link between management systems and business ethics.It also includes Eleven Questions connecting specific Lean tools to the 'Respect for People' principle, and Twelve Rules for daily practice.A practical, plain-spoken guide for leaders committed to mastering Lean rather than merely adopting its vocabulary.

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.
