Here at the Edges of Lean, one of my great pleasures is learning from people who practice lean thinking, but who don't think of themselves as lean practitioners. William Attaway is one of those people.
In lean, we know how vital leadership is. William joined me to talk about how we all can be better leaders, how to continually improve our leadership, and why coaching is the best way to improve our leadership skills .
