Building a Lean culture requires a solid foundation, and that starts with the leaders of an organization. Leaders are responsible and accountable for the long-term cultural success of a team-focused approach to problem solving and flow of information, services, and products through the value stream to the customer.
Leading and managing the daily battles in our companies are not for the faint of heart or mind. How do leaders need to think about Safety, Quality, and Flow while preparing to coach up their peers and team members? What should be the leader’s North star, the thing that motivates them as a Lean leader to build the culture best capable to delight internal and external customers? Hint: it’s much more than money.
During this event, we will examine:
- Responsibility and accountability
- The four questions
- Cascade of Lean leadership throughout the organization
- Your thoughts
Join our discussion as we share this foundational information on the critical importance of the leadership needed to guide your organization to a successful Lean culture deployment.
