When organizations struggle to sustain Lean transformation, people often look first at tools, training, or tactics. But more often than not, the real obstacle is cultural friction–the subtle but powerful resistance that arises when there's a disconnect between what we say we value and how we actually behave.

I'm excited to invite you to an upcoming free webinar I'll be hosting:

Breaking Through Cultural Friction: The Role of Respect for People–Strengthening Culture for Sustainable Performance

Presented by Scott Gauvin, CEO of Macresco Consulting
June 10th, 1:00 – 2:00 pm ET

Scott is someone I've respected for years–not just for his operational expertise, but for his commitment to making culture visible and actionable. He's the co-founder of the Respect for People Roadmap, a framework that helps leaders and teams close the gap between intention and execution.

In this webinar, Scott will explore:

  • The hidden, often unspoken barriers that stall or derail Lean adoption
  • Nine specific leadership and team behaviors that foster a culture of improvement
  • Practical, strategic approaches to creating lasting cultural alignment

This isn't about soft skills for their own sake. It's about performance–sustainable performance–that's only possible when culture stops working against you and starts working for you.

Whether you're early in your Lean journey or navigating the complexities of long-term change, I think you'll find Scott's insights timely, grounded, and immediately applicable.

I hope you'll join us. Again, you can register here.

Here's a short preview video on the difference between “respect for people” and “respecting people”:
