The Leadership Cube(TM) Deploying Lean Six Sigma Leadership
Book 3 of The Leadership Cube(TM) Series
In a hospitality industry facing rising guest expectations, shrinking margins, and relentless competition, improvement isn't optional, it's mission critical. But true improvement doesn't begin with tools. It begins with leadership.
In Book 3 of The Leadership Cube(TM) Series, David Theilacker shows how Lean Six Sigma, when powered by aligned leadership, becomes more than a set of techniques. It becomes a sustainable leadership operating system. Designed for executives, team leaders, and frontline champions in complex service environments, this book offers a step-by-step blueprint for embedding Lean Six Sigma into the daily rhythm of work.
Built on the foundation laid in Book 1 (Turning Leadership Complexity into Leadership Clarity) and Book 2 (Building Team Alignment), this third volume connects The Leadership Cube(TM) framework directly to the principles of Lean Six Sigma, showing how to align Purpose, People, and Process at every level of the organization.
You'll learn how to:
Avoid the myth of tool-driven improvement-and build a system of leadership instead
Use the Leadership Cube(TM) Alignment Model to diagnose and correct organizational drift
Embed Lean thinking into daily huddles, delegation, coaching, and standard work
Develop Tiered Huddles and governance routines that connect strategy to execution
Empower staff to lead improvement-not just comply with it
Whether you're a seasoned executive or launching your first improvement initiative, this book will help you turn Lean Six Sigma from a compliance program into a culture, and from a one-time project into a lasting legacy of excellence.
