Hytrol President David Peacock Explores 3 Ways Lean Leadership Continuously Changes Manufacturing Sector

Jonesboro, AR -- (SBWire) -- 09/19/2016 --David Peacock, President of Hytrol, recently shared how Lean leadership has demonstrated effective applications of leadership principles in the modern workforce. Lean leaders are people at every level of the organization who are leading change in their companies and in the industry in three main ways.

1. They embrace new ideas. Lean leaders challenge the status quo to continuously improve their operations and companies. They will search for ways to update the existing technologies and solve problems with new technologies that pave the way to new markets. They embrace collaborative leadership—one that seeks to elicit ideas from across the full spectrum of the workforce. They recognize the value of each person involved in the process and the vision from each unique perspective.

2. They refocus on the customer. The key tenet of Lean is a focus on the customer. Leadership's reconnection of this is imperative.

3. They utilize charismatic leadership styles. These leaders have shared values that they work to solidify at all levels of the organization. Lean leadership values its leaders as:
- Teachers – enabling others to learn
- Learners – empowering others to share ideas
- Supporters – enabling others to act

"It's only through Lean leadership that a sustainable Lean methodology can be implemented in any workplace, including throughout the manufacturing industry. To embrace the change that has already happened and to encourage those in the organization to seek improvement through on-going changes, we have an obligation to empower folks to be a Lean leader in our organizations," added Peacock.
