Ep.1517 - The Leader Drives Lean

Lean implementation doesn't start with a program, it starts with the leader, and it has to be driven from the top. In this episode, Jason gives a passionate reminder that you can't delegate lean to a VP, a lean director, a consultant, or a committee and expect it to stick. He breaks down why lean must become the company's main operating system, not a side project, and why real change requires authority paired with daily example. If you want lean to work at scale, this is the mindset shift.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Why lean must be led by the top leader not delegated
• How "lean as a side job" guarantees failure
• The difference between influence and authority when implementing change
• Why committees and decision-by-group create chaos instead of improvement
• What daily lean leadership looks like in real life

If you're the leader, what are you personally doing every day to prove lean is the operating system, not a slogan?
