Business Owners and Leaders Must Sell Their Passion

Small Business Owners/Leaders Must Sell Their Passion to Create Profitable Growth

Leanovations has worked with many family owned manufacturing companies to implement lean in their companies, with sales in the range of $1-$50 million annually. One of the first tasks we usually embark upon is how to promote the owners’ passion for the business, and desire to grow to their employees. This entails coaching the business owners and the staff on how to teach and apply lean principals to the workforce to meet their objectives. At Leanovations, we believe that to enjoy continuous improvements at your company, you must apply “Constant Gentle Pressure” to a “Plan, Do, Check, Act” process through Lean Kaizen Workshops.

Promoting and selling a passion and vision about lean to create profitable growth is the most important job of a business owner and leader. The Business Owner must fuel the fire of passion through leadership within every employee, and turn employees into advocates, and advocates into the disciples who promote your vision. Leadership is the key in building a spirit of co-operation, which means interacting frequently with the employees, expecting them to improve continually, reaching for a higher standard and inspiring them with a brighter future. Lean Kaizen Workshops provide employees a new level of teamwork, which will improve productivity and make profitable growth easier.

Leanovations utilizes Lean Kaizen Workshops to engage employees and teach them the importance of lean and innovations to provide a competitive advantage and to enjoy employment stability with opportunities in the future. A Lean Kaizen Workshop is normally 3 ½ days to 5 days in length with a focused approach that brings critical resources together and empowers participants to identify problems, determine a solution, and implement the change wherever the opportunity to improve exists.

As the organization gains knowledge, experience and confidence in lean and the Lean Kaizen Workshops, it is encouraged by Leanovations to have our clients begin conducting their own internal lean training/workshops. Essentially, the role of Leanovations should be to teach, coach and challenge an organization as a whole to attain higher improvement goals, and to be a resource for further learning.
