As far as overcoming resistance, many different bold steps can be taken begin the journey. I believe the most effective are the ones that the leader takes themselves.

This plays right into the "Resistance to Change" formula from your book <i> The Hitchhiker's Guide to Lean</i> and LLC training, doesn't it? F is the courage to take the <b>F</b>irst steps:<br /><br />H x V x F > R<br /><br />And H is the hatred of current reality, V is a clear vision of the ideal state, and R is the resistance to change. If H, V, or F is 0, then there won't be any change happening in our organizations, huh?<br /><br />On a daily basis it is all too easy to just think Lean applies to the manufacturing floor (or to the folks doing the work), not to me specifically - the leader. We forget that the most powerful impact we can make as leaders is to live it. Only then do we have that sincerity when we are leading our teams through difficult change. Thanks for the advice and motivation, Jamie! This plays right into the "Resistance to Change" formula from your book The Hitchhiker's Guide to Lean and LLC training, doesn't it? F is the courage to take the First steps:

H x V x F > R

And H is the hatred of current reality, V is a clear vision of the ideal state, and R is the resistance to change. If H, V, or F is 0, then there won't be any change happening in our organizations, huh?
