We're glad that David Mann help expose it for people. Perhaps as a sign of how aligned we our, our book The Hitchhiker's Guide to Lean is also show as a recommended package with Creating a Lean Culture. However, Leader Standard Work has to be done right. It's more than creating checklists. Even when done right, it takes at least a month to get used to and not everyone has that patience. If you get it wrong, it will take longer.

There is no value in following the standard work to level of details like task standard work only because you can do it. There value when it evolves from a need to solve some problem. In our case these tools evolved one problem after another. at first it was sustaining and improving our culture. we thought culture is driven by the habits of the people who are in it. how do change peoples habit ? make them do the right things religiously on daily basis and over period of time it becomes their habit, leader standard work was good tool. Than we realized we need to think at process level too. All the essential processes need to be sustained to do this we needed to identify what were the critical tasks and who should do it.Thus the Task standard work, an important tool connecting the process to people an people driving the culture.Obviously our next step was how to connect Business to process, I am still experimenting with it using X matrix. I would be very interested in knowing your experiences too. John

What are your views about what the "value add" is of having leader std work and to detail it to the level of task std work? Great to see someone interested in Std Work beyond the basic understanding.
