Lean Leadership
From ‘hands-on’ experiences, we know that the LEAN ideology and toolbox can make a significant difference to the performance of a company. Implemented the right way.
Unfortunately many executives tend to see LEAN as a mean, that can be mechanically installed 'out in the organization'. Like most other leadership tools, LEAN has to be implemented top down and in a process where the employees of the company are actively involved.
To get the most out of LEAN you have to think in terms
of LEAN LEADERSHIP.
Implementing LEAN LEADERSHIP means
-
to help top management to implement
Policy Deployment and to utilize the tool,
engaging next levels of managers -
to develop first line managers, making
them capable of actively involving shop
floor employees
More than anything LEAN is about setting free
and utilizing ideas and resources on all levels
of the company.
