E9 | Leading With Lean with Philip Holt

Radical Transformation

In this episode of Radical Transformation Mike Swetman talks to Philip Holt, Business Transformation Leader and COO at Leading with Lean.

They discuss Philip's journey in lean transformation and the key lessons he has learned along the way. Philip shares his experience of having a career-changing moment in 2008 when he visited Japan with Philips and realised how little he knew about truly applying lean principles. He discusses the importance of focusing on people engagement and the four leadership styles - activism, visibility, coaching and "mosquito" - required for successful lean transformation.

In this episode you will hear:

• Philip's first exposure to lean principles and tools as an engineer
• The metaphor of violinist Joshua Bell and how it relates to lean leadership
• Examples of putting people at the centre of the transformation vision
• Advice for listeners looking to provide lean leadership in their organisation
