Overview
What makes Lean management stick over the long term?
Most books on Lean focus on getting started and applying the tools. REAL LEAN Volume Three takes up the harder, less-examined question: what causes companies to abandon Lean after a few years, and what can executives actually do about it?
Drawing on the historical record - including the documented failure of Frederick Taylor's Scientific Management to outlive its founders - the author identifies the structural and behavioral forces that pull organizations back to conventional management.
Along the way he introduces 14 decision points executives must commit to, an in-depth examination of the often-overlooked "Respect for People" principle, and a framework called Lean enterprise estate planning for surviving inevitable changes in ownership and leadership.
A candid, evidence-based guide for executives, practitioners, and consultants thinking beyond the next pilot project.
