Masterclass Certificate in Lean Leadership
What is Lean Leadership?
Lean Leadership is one of the most discussed concepts in today’s business world. With the global demand for lean leaders for businesses, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has developed a specific guideline for lean leadership in ISO 18404.
A lean leader is someone who enables a continuous learning culture across the organization by creating customer value at the lowest possible cost. Lean leadership is developed through constant lean management habits and routines of practice. The lean leader is more of a teacher than a manager. If you are determined to make the methodology work in your organization, you need to encourage your team to continuously improve both their hard and soft skills. The role of a lean leader is built around 5 values.

Why Lean Leadership?
70% of Lean transformation efforts fail in the world and burn millions of dollars and resources. And about 46% of the failures are due to a lack of leadership. Many organizations start lean as a strategic initiative with a lot of glamour and focus. However, they fail to keep the momentum and after few months things start to fall apart. In many cases, systems go back to the usual way of working while in some scenarios things end up in a more chaotic phase than before.
Many Traditional leaders do not know how to harness the creativity of shop-floor teams for organizational growth. They think they hired hands and legs but forget about the brains of their team. Hence, they miss out on great opportunities to improve collectively. If the leaders do not create a culture that encourages thinking and learning, such cultures become toxic and psychologically unsafe to work.
Continuous Improvement mindset is a pivotally important factor in building unique operational capabilities which can not be imitated by the competition. However, many traditional leaders do not possess a continuous improvement mind. Most of them rely on technical innovation alone that often provides only a temporary competitive advantage. The results of continual cost reduction and quality improvement are difficult to copy. When they only put effort to improve when there is an urgency, then the company becomes very reactive and vulnerable. Any process is either slipping back or being improved and the best way to avoid slip back is to keep moving forward.
