Annual Management Improvement Carnival: 2011 - Lean Leadership



In my third review for the Annual Management Improvement Carnival I am going to highlight the blog Lean Leadership. Christian Paulsen, a lean consultant, is the author of Lean Leadership.  He started blogging a couple years ago and I have been following him since the beginning.  Christian has been a frequent guest blogger this year on A Lean Journey.

Christian covers a wide range of topics from 5S and six sigma to leadership and change management.  He even does a weekly series on quotes which is a little bit different take on the Friday Lean Quote featured here. Christian has over 20 years of experience in manufacturing and Lean Leadership which he shares with personal tales to highlight his points in a memorable way.
