Abstract
Purpose
The creators of the “lean” approach share their extensive experience, highlighting how organizations can reap the benefits of Toyota’s approach.
Design/methodology/approach
Based on the authors expertise and 30 plus years of experience developing and implementing the “lean” approach.
Findings
A shift is required in leaders, away from a chain of command to a chain of help. Type IV learning is required where everyone, including the “leaders”, explores, learns, and figures out, experientially, one change at a time.
Originality/value
The paper provides a succinct summary of the need for a mind-set shift in leaders if they are to create a truly lean culture in their organization. They call for leaders to start a cognitive revolution, rather than look to “bolt on” lean to existing organizational practices.
