In Leading Lean by Living Lean, Philip Holt details and explains
what is probably the most important part of becoming a Lean Leader
-- living and practicing what you preach. To do this you must
believe in what you're doing, understand what it means and what you
need to do, and do it every day. The author, through his
engineering background, has fully embraced the Plan-Do-Check-Act
(PDCA) model of Deming / Shewhart but has adapted David Bovis'
Believe-Think-Feel-Act (BTFA) model to understand why logic and
facts are very often not the principal players in the game of
change. In this book, Holt author describes how you can take both
the PDCA and BTFA models into account and has sectioned the book
into three prime parts: 1. Head -- How you learn and understand the
Lean principles and their application. 2. Hands -- How you practice
Lean Leadership daily. 3. Heart -- How you internalize and believe
in Lean Leadership. Through this book, you, the Lean practitioner,
whether aspiring or experienced, will have everything that you need
to "lead it," "do it," and "live it." The nature of this book is
more "why to" than "how to" - the author knows that he cannot tell
you how to lead, do, or live Lean; he can only explain why it is so
important and share his knowledge, experiences, failures, and
successes. This book isn't so much a self-help book as a
self-reflection book and it can point you in the proper direction,
but... the book won't change you; only you can change you!
Essentially, with this book, the author wants those who think of
Lean as a toolkit, who believe that Lean can be project managed, or
who argue about Lean versus Six Sigma and misunderstand the
fundamental depth of impact that true Lean Leadership has on an
organization to be disabused of any or all of those notions. This
book is aimed at those leaders who seek to experience the full
transformative effects of Lean in their organizations and want to
practice it at the principle level of deployment. Holt's aim is to
help business leaders enhance who they are by changing what they do
and the way that they do it
