Which comes to my recommendation: I believe that addressing the need for Stewardship and teaching Stewardship skills are critical to the success of any Continuous Improvement Program or Lean Six-Sigma initiative. Stewardship establishes the necessary precursor environment only through which the full achievement of the benefits of any such program or initiative is possible and will result in the realization of the maximum potential reward associated with leveraging the tools and methods of Lean Six-Sigma.
I also believe that the teaching of these Stewardship skills should be moved to the front of the curriculum and materials – and not as an Elective or after-thought. As an individual member of the community – whether your role in a project or a business is that of a Practitioner or that of a Leader – the Steward will ensure everyone is working as a team. And working as a team makes all the difference.
