4) Leaders would ‘ lead’ from the front . It would become easy for them to
understand the worker’s perspective as well as the changes desired in
Toyota Production System (TPS) w.r.t Indian Socio Economic Environment.
This would help to buy-in the workers’ consent for the reduced takt time.
5) The Organization would empower people and come out from the HIPPO
mindset ( Highest Paid Person’s Opinion Counts).
6) They would be able to promote the culture of ‘Innovation’ & Design
Thinking within the Organization through Idea Generation- Standardization
along with creativity.
7) The team would be aligned to the overall Organizational Goals
