The blog post

Too many organizations treat Leader Standard Work (LSW) as a scheduling tool — a calendar filled with Gemba walks, meetings, and routines. But Lean leadership isn’t about how you plan your time — it’s about how you show up.

In this episode, Mark reads and reflects on his LeanBlog.org article, “Leader Standard Work Is About Behavior, Not Just Your Calendar.” He explores what it means to make leadership a daily practice of intentional behaviors — listening, asking, thanking, reflecting — instead of just checking boxes.

You’ll hear about:

  • Why a color-coded schedule doesn’t make someone a Lean leader

  • How mindset and presence define real Leader Standard Work

  • A behavior-based checklist for leaders to use as daily reflection

  • The connection between psychological safety and consistent leadership habits
