The centralized Command and Control management model has beguiled us for too long. Perhaps we should force them all to wear jeans not chinos. I once saw a cartoon of a boss figure sitting in the neck of a bottle, with minions beneath him inside the bottle trying to push out, and the caption saying something like, “Bottlenecks are always found in the necks of bottles”.

Noticeably absent was the owner who with an MBA didn’t need to attend the training sessions. The results of course were predictable, as in non-existent!

I’ve seen what you describe in some hospitals. “We’ve been doing Lean for 5 years,” but there’s zero evidence of any daily continuous improvement or any good Lean thinking at the executive level.
