Every boss has their own style, but we know that the "bossy" boss will have a very hard time building and mainting a productive lean culture. In today’s episode, I talk about that with Elizabeth Were, who focuses her consulting practice on coaching managers to get comfortable not being bossy (or to get comfortable speaking up, if they are the other kind of boss). She also shares her lean story and how she came to learn that lean implementation requires a change in leadership behaviors.
