Thanks for sharing. We have found consistently that most lean leaders really don't know how to lead, particularly cultural change. Many of them come from operations or engineering, and I can personally attest that most engineers aren't trained in change management.

We believe that there is no such thing as organizational change. People change. Eventually enough people change within the organization that you can call it organizational change. You change one heart and one mind at a time.

That's why we created the Leading Lean course (Nov 11 at www.leanlearningcenter.com) - specifically to give people change agent skills that they need on the lean journey such as how to you sell ideas to people, how do you coach, how do you build a network of change agents, how do you change a culture, etc. These are important skills. I like to believe these skills are the difference between being a lean expert and being a lean change agent. One knows stuff, the other makes something happen.
