Lean Leadership Training Workshop
As managers and leaders in our workplaces, we are all challenged to boost productivity, quality and team culture. Highly effective managers understand how continuous improvement methodologies align powerfully with modern leadership principles, giving them a secret weapon that has a multiplying factor on their effectiveness in both driving results and creating outstanding teams.
This engaging and interactive workshop reviews the fundamental concepts of lean thinking and then layers in some of the most important leadership concepts and competencies, showing how the two work together as teams strive to improve.
About our Lean Leadership Training Workshops
In this video, Chris Baker, founder and principal business advisor at Kallista Consulting, talks about how the principles, philosophies and tools that form the Lean methodologies also strongly align with fundamental principles of good leadership
How Lean Leadership can help you
Improve Culture and Morale
One of the most powerful outcomes of applying lean leadership is the team building that arises from it. Highly effective leaders understand that the way teams are engaged when implementing lean is actually a very powerful leadership tool that can increase morale, job satisfaction and retention.
Improve Throughput
One of the key outcomes of applying lean leadership is significant increases in productivity. Creating an environment where teams are synergistically using their combined capabilities to solve problems and develop better ways of working unleashes ongoing and rapid improvement. These are extremely powerful and valuable skills to learn, and, once learned, they can be taken and applied almost anywhere.
Improve Quality
Defective work, and the subsequent inspection and rework associated with it, is one of the “killer wastes”. It is extremely costly and undermines productivity and the reputation of your team and agency. Learning to develop a team that understands defects, why they occur and how to reduce and minimise them is important to the success of your team.
But there are things that get in the way….
Leadership is a continuous journey of learning. Many leaders know what they should be doing to build autonomy, engage with their teams and establish a ‘can-do’ culture of continuous improvement, but they are often not clear on exactly how to do this. They lack the tools and methodologies that provide a simple framework to apply with their teams and don’t always have the understanding of what is need by their teams for them to commit and jump aboard.
The training workshop provides some foundational knowledge of both lean and leadership and demystifies how to apply these in a practical sense, providing s powerful framework for excellent leadership and productivity improvement. This is genuinely a training workshop that pays for itself very quickly.
