Simplicity, flow, respect for people, reflection, observing the present state, humility, beginner's mind, inquiry, a search for perfection. These are just some of the concepts shared between Lean, also known as the Toyota Production System, and Zen.
In The Simple Leader, author Kevin Meyer describes how he discovered and leveraged Lean on his thirty-year leadership journey from engineer to President of a medical device company. Then, when faced with a very stressful family health situation, he learned about Zen - and soon realized that there were common themes that could be used to improve both personal and professional leadership.
Filled with personal stories, practices, and insight built on experience, The Simple Leader will help new or struggling leaders in any industry become more organized, effective, and balanced.
The book is organized into eight parts, each with a different purpose:
Part One: Fundamentals A quick history lesson and exploration of the basics of Lean and Zen. Part Two: Reconnect Before doing anything, a leader has to be in touch with her or his inner self. Part Three: Create Methods.
