Abstract
If you look at Lean, Six Sigma, TPM and other methods they are often described from a practical engineer’s standpoint, and less from a leadership standpoint. There is less written on how to lead them, and what a good factory leader does to facilitate the success. One of the most important parts of leadership is that people want to go with you. A leader creates desire to go somewhere, the vision of where to go, and because you are creating desire, you have to have, in the way you behave, a manner of relating to people that makes them interested, that talks to them. Without that you are more of a manager. Mark Goodwin
