Developing Lean Leaders at Parsons

The pace of change in construction has never been higher. The size and scale of projects continue to increase and the need for productivity improvement is becoming a necessity, not a goal. Developing leadership capability to serve these needs is a priority of our company. Helping all our employees understand and support our Lean journey and the impact it can have on improving the work lives of our field and office personnel is at the center of our mission for continuous improvement. Developing Lean Leaders at Parsons is a book that I feel truly describes and helps us understand how respect for people is fundamental to Lean. How? Beginning with a commitment to self-development and an understanding of how becoming better problem solvers by creating lean processes. These lean processes will help us expose problems which can be solved which in turn develops great leaders. Electrical and technology infrastructure is integrated into many stages of the construction process. By paying attention to where we can create flow to our work and reduce variation in the hand-offs is key to the success of our projects. The opportunity for Lean to transform our company by developing great leaders at all levels is upon us. I am confident you will find, the learnings in this book will show you how to improve not only your work, but your personal lives. This will influence the people you lead, and your customers. Your customers will appreciate how they can count on you to be an asset to their business success. Parsons will be solidified as a preferred provider to all our customers and a preferred employer for all of you.
