Synopsis

LEADERS STRUGGLE WITH WHAT TO CHANGE, HOW TO CHANGE, AND WHEN TO CHANGE. ADD WHO TO CHANGE AND YOU’RE IN MUD UP TO YOUR NOSE.

The goal of The People Side of Lean Thinking is to enable every leader to improve how the work gets done and to develop people at the same time. Lean Thinking is the focus, but the tools and ideas will work well in any environment.
In The People Side of Lean Thinking you will learn how to:

• Prepare your people for change
• Show them respect during change
• Support their growth after change
• Enable them to become effective change agents
• Avoid critical pitfalls of Lean Thinking

If you currently use Lean Thinking, The People Side will significantly enhance your people and process outcomes. If you are not using Lean Thinking, this is a practical introduction. In either event, this book will improve your organization, beginning with your people.

If you want to support your employees and improve your leadership, this is the place to start. Many chapters end with comprehensive to-do checklists. Everything you need is in a concise, tight package.

Author Robert Brown has written seven business books, has a doctorate in psychology, is a certified Lean leader, and has almost fifty years of experience as a human factors business consultant.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

“The most dangerous kind of waste is the waste we do not recognize.” Shigeo Shingo

Balance Process Improvement with People Development

Change management experts bemoan the anemic results from Lean Thinking. The Shingo Institute visited prize winners and found a substantial number did not sustain their gains. Knowledge workers almost universally find Lean Thinking insulting. The problem is not Lean Thinking. And the problem isn’t change either.

Implementing Lean to reduce costs and FTEs is a losing effort. Beginning the Lean journey to increase capacity and develop people is a winning combination.

In the People Side of Lean Thinking you will learn how to:

• Prepare your people for change
• Show them respect during change
• Support their growth after change
• Enable them to become effective change agents
• Avoid critical pitfalls of Lean Thinking
• Use Lean Thinking tools for more than process improvement

Many chapters end with compressive checklists for how to achieve these outcomes.

A working rule-of-thumb in Lean is that every process contains at least 50% waste. How much waste is there in people interactions and how Lean is implemented? Identify and overcome this unrecognized waste with The People Side of Lean Thinking.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Any change can disrupt employees. Six Sigma, Lean Thinking and other quality improvement approaches can create significant people problems. The wise leader will be aware of these posibilities and more than just avoid them, will engage employees to create, manage and enhance change.
