Course Description

Provide supervisors and managers with ten critical performance factors that are needed to change current culture into a culture of continuous improvement. Supervisors play a critical role in the lean transformation. They are critical links between management hierarchy and the people who do the "real" work. Supervisors can bridge the gap between the current culture and the desired one. Yet despite these complex expectations, most organizations give supervisors limited attention. In this interactive session, learn the ten critical areas where supervisors need the organizations support in order to be successful in changing the culture.
