Lean Leadership consists of 2 major processes: Managing Change and Managing Transitions. 

Managing Change is the project part, that simply and straightforwardly deals with the “x by y” (do X by Y date) changes required to become a Lean Enterprise by implementing the Lean Tools in your Value Stream.

Managing Transitions is the people part, that not so simply and not so straightforwardly deals with the “z” issues…..what goes on with people required to effectively implement and sustain the Lean changes.

The Lean Leadership workshop uses a Leadership Value Stream that builds the participants capability to both Manage Change and Manage the Trasitions necessary to bring people through the change process.

Content includes:  Transforming Organizational Change, Leader-Manager Assessment, Transition Management, and a Leadership Development Plan (created by each participant in order to improve his/her leadership skills).

 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Understand and appreciate that Managing Change has 8 Steps for effective organizational change, and there are typically 8 Errors made that inhibit and/or absolutely prevent organizational change from happening.
  2. Discover that Managing Transitions is a non-linear process of identifying people who have already adopted the Lean changes (New Beginnings), people who have still not accepted the need to change (Endings), and a large number of people in the middle who are going along with the changes but are confused by them (In Transition).
  3. Leadership Assessment (personal) vs. 1o Leader-Manager Dimensions and 100 pinpointed leader-manager behaviors.
  4. Learn how to Manage Change and get started with the 8 Steps.
  5. Learn how to Manage Transitions and get started identifying people in each stage of transition.

Who Should Attend:  CEOs, Executive Teams, Lean Champions, Value Stream Managers, Functional Managers…..at all levels of the organization.

Duration: 2 days
