The pervasive focus on Lean tools distracts from the important work of developing Lean leaders at all levels of organizations. Success with Lean requires change. All organizational change requires leadership. Growing leaders of all types can be a long process. Growing Lean leaders takes a bit more work. While it s easy to declare that an organization is adopting Lean as their operating strategy, in practice, Lean challenges so much about we hold to be true and we credit to our success. Lean leaders must replace their current automatic ways of engaging with people and work while helping others to do the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11486537\"\u003eCalayde Davey\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781975601300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1975601300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BUS\"\u003eBusiness \u0026amp; Economics\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BUS071000\"\u003eLeadership\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHal did his first production system project in the summer of 1974 in the butcher department of a supermarket. He followed that with a two-year stint in the operations research department of the Bank of Boston in 1976 - 1978. Hal was selected to study quality and Just-In-Time production in Japan in the mid 1980's. That began the formal introduction to Lean which spanned numerous industries and professions. Along the way, Hal was introduced to the work of Fernando Flores -- first the study of the language-action perspective, then ontological redesign. Those bodies of knowledge coupled to Lean allowed him and his collaborators to make very large scale organizational interventions. Hal and his wife Rita live in the White Mountains of New Hampshire among many good friends. Calayde studied her masters in architecture in South Africa, and with the help of a Fulbright Scholarship, obtained a PhD in Environmental Planning, Economics and Urban Development at Kansas State University. In her last few years in the U.S. she worked on a Lean Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) project in the roles of Lean production engineering and building information modeling. Calayde has a life-long love of performing chamber and orchestral music with her friends, and a recent affair with rock climbing. And as you can see from her illustractions, she also has a life-long dedication to curiosity, which is inspired by the shared trials and tribulations of a wonderful community of colleagues, friends, and family. Calayde has returned to her home country of South Africa for the time being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42657512718573,"sku":"9781975601300","price":12.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_dd238f17-7e71-44e7-8189-51412b567a5f.jpg?v=1649312956","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-pocket-sensei-volume-i-standard-edition-mastering-lean-leadership-9781975601300","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
