About this title

Synopsis

Lean management has been promoted for nearly 40 years, yet has never taken hold among the executives of large corporations. Why? The author presents the culmination of more than a decade of research to answer that question.

The Triumph of Classical Management Over Lean Management exposes the real reasons CEOs resist progressive management, and they have nothing to do with the common explanations of hubris, command-and-control personalities, or closed-mindedness. The truth runs far deeper, into political economy, history, leadership culture, and a centuries-old web of vested rights and interests that no leadership training program can easily dislodge.

Through three rigorously researched studies, the author reveals how classical management triumphs through a web of preconceptions. cognitive biases, and the metaphysical thinking of CEOs. It offers practical insights in how to dismantle classical management and two alternatives that strip out Lean's complexity while preserving progressive management thinking.

The Triumph of Classical Management Over Lean Management is essential reading for any progressive management practitioner who has wondered why their leaders just don't get it. Now you'll know why — and what to do about it.
