A company does not improve if the people inside are unable to improve. Every objectively tangible, external improvement is the fruit of the work of one or more people who have been willing to change something. All changes start from inside people before they are manifested externally. For this reason, in business it is imperative for leaders to be able to develop the potential of the people at their disposal, to be able to guide them towards ever more ambitious goals and above all to be capable of making them realise their potential.

The Lean Lifestyle® – People Development training course is aimed at managers who want to improve their Lean leadership and development capabilities or to maximise the available human resources with the least possible waste of potential. Lean Leaders are distinguished by their motivational skills towards ambitious goals, by creating systems that enable full potential to develop, by continually learning from experience, by involving and empowering their team and by the use of “coaching abilities” in the operational management of their people. These are the skills that will be developed and consolidated within the two days of this high-impact organisational training course, during which typical managerial situations will be experienced and simulated.
