Think Lean to Achieve Lean
Rick Bohan explains today why uncommitted leaders may be a factor in the failure of Lean initiatives, but they aren’t the root of it. Check out my top takeaways from the piece.
- Though many companies may not achieve Lean success, levying the decline at the feet of leaders being uncommitted is not always justified
- Far likelier, there is a disconnection between “lean as tactics” (the tools and methods) and “lean as strategy” (the methodology) within the individual managers
- For success with Lean implementation, company leadership should be in accord with their business view and the use of Lean and it’s tools to achieve it
