Developing Leadership Skills 53: Visual Controls Support Work Groups, Module 6, Section 4

Dr. Liker's book, Developing Lean Leaders at All Levels: A Practical Guide, was a 2016 winner of the Shingo Research and Professional Publication Award. We have taken the time to extract the individual seminars and lectures of Dr. Liker used to create this world-renowned publication and offer them in a series of bite-sized, topic-specific learning modules. Follow along and hear Dr. Liker at those actual presentations delivered first hand to the students of Lean and Lean practitioners.

Follow along as Dr. Liker explains the Lean Leadership Development Model (LLDM) and how it aligns with the accepted principles of operational excellence. Learn about the behaviors required to sustain it long term. Understand how leadership must walk the talk of "True North". Find out how to actively engage in developing lean leadership skills.
