Understanding and reshaping leader behavior

Presentation Code: VS2-02

Value Stream: VS2 - Sustaining Lean & Delivering Results

Day & Time: Tuesday, Oct 16, 2012 - 11:00 AM

Length: 1 hour, 10 minutes

You need good lean leaders to sustain lean implementations. But while many companies succeed in implementing improvement measures, they aren't always successful in maintaining those improvements. That's where great leaders can make a difference. But leader actions and words have to be shaped into a system of consistently repeatable behaviors, practiced at every moment of truth and at every level in the hierarchy. If your sustainment efforts are stalled or you need a boost in driving critical leadership behaviors, this presentation will offer you insights, tools and systems to target and reinforce the right behaviors. This presentation will show you how to build those lean leaders you need to keep your business on its lean journey.

In this presentation:

  • Hear why you need lean leaders to keep you on your lean journey.
  • Find out about the most dangerous gaps in traditional management behavior.
  • Learn what must be re-shaped into leader standard work in a new culture.
  • Hear how leader standard work bridges bottom-up and top-down for strategy execution.
  • Find out about the critical roles, alignments and accountabilities of each leadership stratum.
  • Learn about the tools used to practice positive leadership behaviors.
  • Hear how you can build lean leaders at your place of business.
