Leading Lean

Leading Lean: The Making of a Kaizen Event

Leading Lean , by Jerrold Solomon (Shingo Prize Winning Author of Who’s Counting?), is the second in a series of business novels about the Lean transformation process at Tricor Electronics, a fictional company. It follows the characters originally introduced in Who’s Counting? and exposes the human interactions that occur during any Lean transformation. Leading Lean illustrates the angst people go through when asked to change, demonstrates the teamwork and leadership required, exposes the paradigms that must be changed, and lays bare the unwavering commitment required from everyone, especially the CEO. It brings to life the unending stream of interpersonal challenges as the novel chronicles the hour-by-hour progression of a three-day 5S event. Leading Lean demonstrates the critical role a trained facilitator plays in successfully navigating the Lean transformation and provides a road map that will enable your company to compete more effectively in the 21 st century.
