One of the most common problems encountered in any company is how easily people attribute the reasons for their own personal and professional difficulties to others, for example managers, colleagues, companies, competitors, etc. While it is true that many difficulties can originate from corporate organisation and systems built over time, it’s also true that a group of people with the right attributes can continually provide food for thought for the continuous improvement both of the business and its staff. Some of the following characteristics have been identified in people at the best international companies, regardless of the size of the company itself: self motivation, positive attitude towards integration, high energy levels, the ability to get the best out of themselves in any situation, uncommon resilience, excellent problem solving skills and an aptitude for continuous learning.

With the presence of these characteristics, people actively contribute to achieving high professional performance due to greater individual and team well-being. The goal of the Lean Lifestyle® for Employees intensive training course is to pass on the key skills to effectively start developing these characteristics. Investing in your staff in this way, in tandem with a parallel managerial development journey has been widely demonstrated to lead to increases in: operational autonomy, problem resolution, engagement, accountability, organisational well-being and sustainability over time for any business improvement initiative.
