Leanership
* Much has been written about leadership; what it is, who should be doing it, how they should be doing it, what models work in which situations and how companies might apply those models for organisational effectiveness.
* Much has been written about lean thinking; what it is, how it works, what the tools, techniques and concepts are and how different companies can translate those concepts into working models for their business.
Both leadership and lean thinking are seen as enablers for organisational success and yet...
* Many organisations still struggle to deliver sustainable profits and growth
* Many organisations still struggle to effectively attract, deliver for and retain their ideal customers
* Many organisations still struggle to be sufficiently agile to innovate and create remarkable products and services to compete in or lead their market
* Many organisations still struggle with the internal conflict of function/division v the business as a whole
* Many organisations still struggle to recruit, develop, retain and engage inspired employees who are capable and motivated to deliver for their customers
Perhaps its time for a different approach?
If the answer is yes, could that approach be Leanership?
Leanership the art of leadership combined with the science of lean thinking applied by people to create lean enterprise.
Leanership
* Creating and communicating a vision and strategic direction that highlights customer value, fosters profitable, enterprise wide growth and innovation
* Aligning the organisational stakeholders (internal and external to the enterprise) to deliver customer value
* Engaging with and inspiring all stakeholders (internal and external to the enterprise) to be accountable for delivering customer value
* Being sufficiently agile to thrive in and through times of uncertainty and change
The purpose of any business is the...
1. Continuous delivery of customer centric value
2. Continuous delivery of innovative and profitable products and services appropriate to a chosen customer base
3. Continuous engagement of capable and accountable people in worthwhile work to deliver and improve the flow of value to the customer
If this is true then the purpose of the people within a business is to imagine, design, deploy and leverage structures, systems, processes, skills, knowledge and talent for the benefit of their customers and themselves.
To enable people to sustainably engage in this purpose is the rationale for Leanership
Leanership is based on a set of principles that when applied continuously, support organisational transformation to create Lean Enterprise.
