About this listen
Why was this book written?
I chose to write this book for three reasons. First of all, I would like to inspire you with a strategic approach to lean instead of doing projects which are focused on implementation of selected tools. Second, I am really annoyed with the way lean is treated, and I want to deal with all the myths concerning this subject. Third, I dream of a situation where people willingly come to work and where companies have excellent results at the same time.
What is this book about?
This book is not about lean. This book is about how to become lean. Lean strategy brings to a company a purpose of existence, belonging, influence, trust, and conscious leadership among its managers. It strengthens the autonomy and responsibility of individual employees and ultimately provides an everyday feeling of collaborative winning. This is my strategic approach to lean.
Lean strategy consists of two parts.
The first is to help you understand the problem. What are the great five business pathologies? What situations damage companies from the inside? How is lean perceived, and what is it really? I have included in this part many stories from companies in which I had the pleasure of carrying out transformations.
The second part of the book is a kind of manual. A compendium of practical knowledge on how to conduct the strategic transformation of a company in five steps, how to achieve the five target conditions, and thus, how to get rid of the pathologies described in the first part of the book. You will learn how to bring about a situation in which everyone consciously implements the company's strategy while at the same time identifying and eliminating waste.
This book includes:
- Content full of stories, anecdotes, inspiration, management techniques
- Two parts and 10 chapters summarizing 15 years of lean experiments
- Several dozen examples of transformations from various industries
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

They actually have vastly different styles and backgrounds. Yet despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They don’t hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom. They don’t believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. They don’t try to help people overcome their weaknesses. And, yes, they even play favorites. In this longtime management bestseller, Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers.

Yet despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They don’t hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom. They don’t believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. They don’t try to help people overcome their weaknesses. And, yes, they even play favorites. In this longtime management bestseller, Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers.

What if you can successfully coach anyone in 15, five, or even 60 seconds using one question? Sales Leadership makes delivering consistent, high-impact coaching easy. For busy, caring managers, this removes the pressure and misconception that, "Coaching is difficult, doesn't work, and I don't have time to coach." Since most managers don't know how to coach, they become part of the non-stop, problem-solving legion of frustrated Chief Problem Solvers who habitually do other's work, create dependency, and nourish the seed of mediocrity.
