As part of the Great Lean Leaders series, this book is designed to provide several reference points for reading and learning about the what’s, why’s and how’s of Lean Leadership. Lean methodologies, when applied to education, can address issues such as resource waste, inefficient processes, and lack of student engagement by focusing on streamlining workflows, identifying and eliminating non–value-added activities, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Through interviews with the superintendent of a school district, this book relates the journey of learning and growth as shared through storytelling, reflecting, and releasing tested wisdom. By fostering a culture of continuous improvement, this Great Lean Leader unfolds the truths for how he achieved sustainable success— and continues the relentless pursuit of value creation.
