Course Description: 

This technical Lean Leadership training provides formal and informal leaders with a basic awareness of how the Lean mentality – based on servant leadership and the mission of empowerment – can be incorporated into daily interaction with employees, customers, and processes within the larger value stream to which they all contribute.
