Tom Richert and Joanna McGuffey of Unconventional Works will be presenting knowledge about how enthusiasm for lean can be methodically generated within project teams working in the building design and construction industry.

June 17-18: Courageous Leadership Experience in St. Paul, Minnesota
This two-day experience addresses a fundamental challenge in lean transformations – the ability to be present and engage others so that they are enthusiastically committed to a new way of working. To create lasting change leaders need to overcome the tendency of people to experience disconnect – a mood that work is impersonal, and people are merely a pool of resources apart from any meaningful purpose. Courageous leadership is having the strength to bring your best self to others and the ability to inspire others to bring their best self to the team. The workshop is being delivered by Tom Richert and Joanna McGuffey of Unconventional Works, with support from Klaus Lemke and Jason Klous.
