Written by a veteran consultant in the construction field, the book draws a connection between how construction professionals act as leaders and how their attitude and behavior affect productivity and waste daily. While value stream mapping is an important tool for righting broken processes and resolving conflicts, future state maps will fail if leaders continue to work in silos, protect their territories, and don't see that their success is directly tied to the success of their co-leaders.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe author expands the notion of ethics beyond the simple litmus test of right and wrong, so team leaders can adopt professional and productive attitudes and behaviors toward the implementation of Lean improvements. This book demonstrates how, in an industry where waste is rampant, and depends on wide range of people and personalities to successfully build a job, Lean thinking can make the difference between a profitable, competitive construction team, and mass inefficiencies, stunted profitability, and lost future opportunities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"hushpuppyUpsell_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"hushpuppyUpsell\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"hushpuppyUpsell\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"hushpuppyUpsell_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"mlo5mh-bx18yy-295a1-cx2wi2\" data-cel-widget=\"hushpuppyUpsell_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"richProductInformation_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"richProductInformation\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"richProductInformation\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"richProductInformation_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"hmdtes-w174ck-yw00pq-d2hmt8\" data-cel-widget=\"richProductInformation_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"rich_product_information\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"nakkcf-pncloe-g22rh1-hc1t1m\" data-cel-widget=\"rich_product_information\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"content-section\" class=\"page-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-section-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"content-section-item\" class=\"collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-item\" id=\"acc-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"flush-headingThree\"\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"flush-collapseThree\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse show\" aria-labelledby=\"flush-headingThree\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter One: Lean in its Proper Context\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Lean Culture Defined\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: Lean Cuisine and Construction: The Benefits of a Food Industry Perspective\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: The Lean Team Challenge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Five: Trust – Laying the Foundation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Six: Is Your Attitude a Value-Add?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Seven: Lean Ethics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Eight: Construction 101: The Basics from a Lean\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerspective\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Nine: Execution and Overarching Philosophies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Ten: Lean Purpose\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Eleven: The Conflict Paradox: Encouraging Debate without Letting It Become Destructive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Twelve: Establishing and Maintaining High Standards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Thirteen: Influencing versus Motivating\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Fourteen: Constructive Discipline (Knowing When and How to Draw the Line)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Fifteen: Commitment and Accountability\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Sixteen: Building a Lean Safety Culture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Seventeen: Fine-Tuning: Keeping Your Fingers on the Team’s Pulse via Continuous Lean Culture Assessment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Eighteen: Managing External Partner Anxiety and Anger\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter Nineteen: Generational Issues\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-item\" id=\"acc-authors\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"flush-headingFour\"\u003eAuthor(s)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"flush-collapseFour\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse show\" aria-labelledby=\"flush-headingFour\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-body\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBiography\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGary Santorella, Owner, is a licensed Cognitive-behavioral therapist and an expert in team dynamics and behavioral change, who was developed a unique methodology to access job site functioning.
