Successful Implementation of Lean as a Managerial Principle in Health Care: A Conceptual Analysis From Systematic Literature Review

“…Furthermore, one of our findings was that the description of Lean thinking was unclear in the majority of the studies, and there were few if any definitions of features that would differentiate Lean leadership and management from any other managerial or improvement settings. This is in accordance with a previous review which concluded that by reviewing the literature, everything it seems may be termed Lean (34). Nevertheless, by analyzing the characteristics of managerial dimensions, we were still unable to obtain evidence as to whether Lean thinking had been adapted successfully in the studied organizations and whether the targets and goals had been reached or not; it was also not possible to determine the impact of the managerial function in the process of adaptation to Lean thinking.…”

“…The aim of this study was to review and analyze recent literature regarding Lean leadership and management, and to identify the characteristics of leadership and management that are associated with successful Lean thinking adaptation in health care. In addition, we tested the concept of the windshield (31)(32)(33)(34) to analyze the skills and capabilities of Lean leadership and management that were described in the original studies, as to present a comprehensive overview of the managerial traits that are important for achieving successful Lean thinking in health care.

“…The following steps aim to revise and develop the model to a prototype for team leader assessment and develop it to the first version of a completed intervention inventory, test–retest, item analysis, variable correlation, factor analysis, and validation against personality test or inventories. The best practise guide for developing leadership scale, according to the paper of Reunanen and Kaitonen ( 2016 ), is adapted from DeVellis ( 2016 ) elements for broad-scale development over four key elements: generating theory, item development, content adequacy, and empirical evaluation. These elements will be followed in developing this behaviour inventory and in a later step by completing this inventory by the leaders thinking and feeling when unexpected events arise in group meetings .…”

Leadership styles of Iranian Physical Education teachers

“…In the organization, a leader is one who can control factors such as: individual rights, working conditions, policies of the organization, identification, progress, and responsibility. In fact, how the leader can control these factors and how motivates the staff, reflects if the leader is effective (Reunanen and Kaitonen, 2017). That is why it is expected that the person who is the leader of an organization necessarily perform all the duties of a manager.…”
