I am a Lean leadership author, educator, researcher, and historian of progressive management. I have over 20 years of experience in aerospace, consumer products, and service industries, and have had front-line responsibility for implementing Lean principles and practices in the manufacturing shop floor, supply networks, and in higher education (academics).

My focus since the mid-1990s has been exclusively on Lean leadership. I was the first person to do this because I wanted to understand why top leaders and their organizations have such limited success with Lean management. My research has yielded many unique contributions to Lean leadership. They show what senior managers can do to become Lean leaders and provide practical and specific actions to take.

My books are unlike any others in their scope of fresh ideas and new Lean concepts and practices. They answer some of the most important questions people have, including: "How do we conduct a Lean transformation?" "How do I become a Lean leader?" "Why is the 'Respect for People' principle important?" "How do we sustain our Lean efforts?"

I am proud that readers rate my books highly and consistently characterize them as highly original, thought-provoking, and practical. And I am truly honored when people buy my books and commit their precious time to reading them. I am certain that readers will learn many new things each time they read one of books.
