What is a Sensei Lean and what exactly do they do? That's the key question at the heart of this important new book that shares the secret of Lean thinking, which Dan Jones calls "the alternative business model for our era." Jones explains that "behind all the tools for operational excellence and the different management systems necessary to support their use, lies a much deeper challenge: developing everyone's human potential to create a culture of accelerated continuous improvement to meet the changing circumstances today. Learning is at the heart of Lean. "

EL SENSEI LEAN provides a conceptual and practical toolkit for developing Lean leaders and becoming yourself. It will challenge you to reflect on how you train; share conscious questions that improve your knowledge of what to look for; and keep you and your students focused on the signs, symptoms, and syndromes that can delay your Lean success. This book, written by six Lean pioneers who have experienced and followed the path of Sensei, shares a radical vision of how to thrive with this approach. They argue that Lean is a system for gaining competitiveness through the continuous development of people, and as such Sensei play a vital role in helping others deepen their thinking every day.

To be effective in transforming processes and the people who operate within them, any sensei "must first learn to transform," they write. "No one can lean on you. It is up to you. But you will also need a Sensei to help you discover new ways of seeing and acting, and to help everyone learn to adapt to a rapidly changing world. These Lean pioneers discovered what really does Senseis. Learn from them before searching for your own Sensei. " - Daniel T.
