Leading in Lean Transformations: To inspire your team and reach extraordinary results

It is unique because it is built from the experience of both the “provider” of lean tools and instruments and from the receiver, the CEO of the Company that has to adapt and change. A double-digit year of experience in both roles, in the same person.

Management is the ability to perform short term, hence is the enabler to have the space to transform, so to be a leader! Leadership hence cannot exist without management ability.

However, management can exist without leadership: a great manager can organize work and make things happen, without necessarily having (yet?) the ability to lead a team somewhere.

There are moments in which an empathetic leader has to be very direct, decide what is right without involving his team. Like parents sometimes do with children. Dealing with adults though, the leader has to invest time in explaining why he/she took this decision in autonomy and what were the reasons for not doing it together. Which the team, if core values are the same, will normally support and understand.

Installation is the implementation of the “hard” tool, the deployment and landing of the instrument, e.g., training the team on 5s or on Kaizen facilitation. Realization, as the word suggests, is realizing the expected benefits that the tool can provide, e.g., reducing changeover time from X to Y hours, or having a workplace organized to minimize time to search tools and having them close to the point of use, improving ergonomics and reducing the number of movements.

No, it means that I am conscious of the way I feel now, I am aware of how important my feelings and behaviors are, especially in a high leadership position, and I am taking actions to change my status if not aligned to the way I believe I should be in this moment. It is about taking responsibility for my emotional state.

Not only! It starts from how to build a team, how to select the right team members, how to make the team grow individually and as a team, how to create trust and a vision together. How to move from one place to the other. How to maximize the synergy, where 1+1 is higher than 2.

It has nothing to do with IT systems, with computers, software or e-tools! It is about your business, your company, your shop floor. Differentiates from the me and us because it is the proper lean tools application, highlighting how the me and us part are there to sustain the implementation (realization) and, most important, are key enablers of the realization of the benefits.

In my experience not, most of the comments I did receive about the event state that the seminar is a “eye opener”: helps leaders to see and understand the “hidden” and “unexplicit” part of lean, which is the leadership part that Mr. Ohno indicates as “the behaviors that leaders have to change to enable lean to function properly”. After the seminar leaders will understand what may be missing and have time to add or correct in their lean journeys.

You will be able to have several tools to become a better leader, to create and grow a great team, to understand and apply specific behaviors to ensure lean sustainability
