13 The Role of Leadership Leadership of Lean from the top is essential - Passionate belief in the principle is enough to start - i.e. leaders can afford to learn the detail later (if they re supported) - Commitment to the long haul Key Elements for Successful Programmes - Vision to drive quality of implementation rather than quantity of projects / tools Inclination (Leadership) Confidence to become practically involved (walk the walk) - Auditing - Coaching - Recognising success - Willingness to present / teach methods Above all to be an enabler of People Involvement It s not about leaders solving problems or having the answers 2012 Lauras International.

14 The Role of Leadership Key Elements for Successful Programmes Inclination (Leadership) Most initiatives which fail have done so because the leadership team has failed to understand how to lead the way, and manage the implementation on a robust timescale. It is rarely a lack of ability that holds programmes back rather a lack of aspiration and inclination. Set stretch targets. Hold individuals accountable for results, & reward success. Don t false economise - put the resource in. Laurence Brown True accountability for improvement stems from the top Lauras International. All rights reserved. 13
