SCIENTIFICALLY SELECT THE "PERFECT CANDIDATE" FOR THE LEAN MANAGER POSITION
Most Lean Manufacturing implementation projects fail for one simple reason, the designated Lean Manager does not have all the basic mental characteristics and skills needed to manage a lean project.
Without the support of an excellent Lean Manager, you risk wasting huge amounts of money and precious time in consulting programs and business transformations that will crumble like sand castles as soon as externals consultants turn the corner.
Often the person who cover the designated place has an unsuitable profile and this because since the beginning he/she has some of the following characterials traits:
- He/she is too technical and does not see the communicative aspects.
- He/she gets lost in the details and fails to see the breadth of a project.
- He/she has experience but at the same time the experience is a roadblock for the capability to see possibles improvements.
- He/she is too communicative and unable to go into technical details.
- Can't work in a team
- Can't motivate a team
- Can't organize communication and workshops
These are only just some examples of the gaps that a candidate for the role of Lean Manager may have but each company in its specific situation may also have other selection criterias to match.
The Perfect Lean Manager
The profile of the Perfect Lean Manager does not exist, as each company has its own peculiarities and needs, but some basic attitudinal traits are required by the lean methodology implementation process.
Therefore, the profile of the perfect lean manager is the one that is built considering the needs of the Lean project to be implemented and the specific needs of the company

The Identity Compass ®
This is a proprietary methodology through which we scientifically identify the thinking patterns and habits that a person has developed during his professional life.
