Abstract
El presente proyecto de título pretende identificar cómo impacta a los distintos
estilos/conductas de Liderazgo la implementación de una herramienta como Lean
Thinking, cuyo eje central por definición básica son las personas.
El estudio se llevó a cabo en el Centro de Distribución de producto terminado de
una empresa de consumo masivo que opera en Chile donde la filosofía Lean está
comenzando a vivirse.
Para llevar a cabo el propósito antes descrito, se utilizó el modelo de Liderazgo
Situacional de Hersey y Blanchard, parametrizando a partir de este modelo, las
distintas fases de implementación de la herramienta Lean, cuyo objetivo primario
es lograr el desarrollo organizacional de una compañía, a partir del cambio de
comportamiento de los colaboradores.
El cambio de comportamiento pasa por empoderar a los colaboradores en cada
una de las tareas y/o actividades que realiza diariamente, dando las competencias
técnicas y blandas que le permitirán al colaborador agregar valor a lo largo de toda
la cadena productiva.
Lean Thinking, por ende, resulta ser un desafío no sólo para los colaboradores
que deben dejar de lado su inercia laboral sino que también para los líderes de
estos trabajadores, pues deben tener también un cambio de comportamiento en
función de la madurez y disposición de su equipo de trabajo, dando según sea el
caso, a su estilo de liderazgo, una orientación a la tarea y/o a la relación. Lo
anterior determinará la conducta de liderazgo que aplicará el líder a sus
seguidores. La disposición se evalúo en función de las capacidades técnicas de
cada colaborador y en función de la motivación que presentaban al comienzo del
proceso de implementación.
El desafío al cambio de comportamiento del líder pasa fundamentalmente por
lograr aceptar y valorar tener colaboradores empoderados en sus actividades,
dirigiendo y liderando tareas y planes de acción en una organización que
“aprende”.
This project aims to identify how are impacting different styles / behaviors of leadership to implement a tool such as Lean Thinking, given its focus on people The study was conducted at the Distribution Center of a food company operating in Chile, where the Lean philosophy is beginning to be lived. To carry out the purpose described above, we used the Situational Leadership model of Hersey and Blanchard, parameterized from this model, the various stages of implementing the Lean tool whose primary objective is to achieve a company's organizational development, from the change of behavior of employees. Behavior change happens to empower employees in each of the tasks and / or performing daily activities, providing technical and soft skills that will enable the partner to add value throughout the supply chain. Lean Thinking, therefore, constitutes a challenge not only for employees who must put aside its inertia but also work for the leaders of these workers, they must also have a change of behavior depending on their maturity and readiness team, as the case giving to his style of leadership, task orientation and / or the relationship. This will determine the leadership that apply to the leader to his followers. The provision is assessed in terms of technical skills of each employee and depending on the motivation presented at the beginning of the implementation process. The challenge of leader behavior change happens primarily to achieve accept and value have empowered partners in their activities, directing and leading tasks and action plans in an organization that "learns".
