Lean Manufacturing, Leadership & Shakespeare
"This
day is called the Feast of Crispian..."
On October 25, 1415,
Henry
V of England defeated the French
armies, against overwhelming odds. This battle would be a minor footnote in history had Shakespeare
not immortalized it. The battle's
outcome hinged on leadership
and strategy just as a Lean
Manufacturing hinges on leadership and strategy.
Our Leadership Series discusses how the type of leadership affects Lean
implementation. It starts with an overview,
"Lean
Manufacturing Leadership". From there, you can download an
article
by Major Attila Bognar based on the classic film "Twelve
O'clock High." The pages include a
self-assessment
that can help you to understand your own style. Audio links illustrate leadership style and
there is an analysis of Henry
V.
I
hope you find these pages enjoyable and useful. We wish you all the best
on this St. Crispin's day, 2006.
