Welcome back to the Process Improvement Practitioners Show! In this episode, we continue our three-part series on the Process Improvement Leader’s State of Mind, diving into the mindset that drives effective change leadership.

Building on the previous episode’s discussion of key leadership traits, we now explore how these traits manifest as behaviors and thought patterns. A strong mindset is essential for successfully leading process improvement efforts, influencing culture, and fostering lasting transformation.

We cover 11 critical elements of the Process Improvement Mindset, including:
✅ Assuming positive intent in others
✅ Blaming the process, not the people
✅ Developing a process-oriented perspective
✅ Understanding process ownership
✅ Identifying waste and inefficiencies
✅ Practicing customer-centricity
✅ Learning to say no to non-value-adding work
✅ Leading with questions before applying tools
✅ Thinking like a scientist in problem-solving
✅ Becoming a trusted advisor within the organization
✅ Striving to make continuous improvement so effective that your role is no longer needed

This episode is packed with insights to help you cultivate the right mindset, align your coaching approach, and position yourself as a true change leader. Join the conversation on LinkedIn or YouTube—we’d love to hear your thoughts!

Listen now and take the next step in your process improvement journey. 🎧🚀
