The Human Side of Lean

Light turn out this evening, probably Easter Bunny fatigue. Those that were on the call enjoyed a discussion of "Leaders & Followers" with Gene Dixon talking about his research interests.

The notes from the call in map/pdf form are here. If you have MindManager software, the original map is here.

Key take away:

Good leaders display more follower traits, on the whole. and,
  
The military model provides some lessons of choosing leaders from good followers.

We have a natural or cultural bias against the word "follower." Though those effective followers are far from passive or mindless automotons. We will continue the discussion next week.

If you would like to join these calls in the future, typically every Tuesday evening, the details are here.
