Lean Leadership Training: Lean Managers

Lean Leadership Training Summary

Our  Lean Leadership training courses covers all aspects of your lean implementation, but from a leadership perspective. This enables each person to focus on their role in your Lean / Six Sigma / TOC improvement projects.  Lean leadership training is based on practical simulations and issues relating to your business, so whilst we have a standard core of subject and content, we are flexible in our approach. The main levels in an organisation are covered, you may have different titles or more management levels but broad definitions are:

Lean Managers

Probably your middle manager level, have functional responsibility for their areas and also provide services and interlink with other business areas

Lean Executives (See Executive leadership training)

Applies to Top and Senior Management who have a responsibility for the wider organisation and are generally measured with relation to top-line KPIs. Executive leadership is essential to ensure that your improvement project is successful.

Lean Supervisors (See Supervisor leadership training)

May be Supervisors, Group Leaders or Team Leaders – these people are generally at the coal-face and are either providing a service for the main business operations or are the main business operations focusing on their area and the quality, cost and delivery of the service or product out of their area.

There will clearly be common elements to any lean implementation for all levels, but also specific roles to be played by executive leadership, management leadership and supervisor leadership – Lean QCD covers both common and specific elements.
