However, improving things or even changing them is never a simple operation since it means questioning structures, balances, behaviors and processes that have been consolidated for some time, and precisely in consideration of this, the Coaching approach inherent in the methodological approach of Lean Manufacturing finds its success above all in its ability to listen to all the individuals involved and to work on their potential and possible resistances in a gradual, progressive and harmonious path. Lean conversion is in fact by its very nature a collaboration between all the personal resources involved in the path, in which each must be guided to find their own motivation to act, their role, their space for improvement and their intimate satisfaction. . Everyone in the company must therefore be given the opportunity to perceive their own value in contributing to the final result with their creativity and proactivity, so much so that an optimal result can be achieved at a general level, only if one focuses on the continuous learning of the individual. participant in the process and daily and systematic training will be stimulated, with the consequence that in the end it will be the company subject who will derive the maximum benefit from it.
