Moving Forward Faster: The Mental Evolution From Fake Lean to REAL Lean reveals the deep secrets of Lean management. This provocative and insightful book clearly explains why Lean management, despite its overwhelming advantages over conventional management, has yet to become ubiquitous in organizations.
Moving Forward Faster presents the key economic, social, political ideas that must diminish or be eliminated, and historical facts that must be understood and acknowledged in order to experience long-term success with Lean management. It will challenge, annoy, frighten, enlighten, frustrate, educate, and enliven readers.
Readers will gain a clear picture of how remarkably different Lean leaders’ minds are compared to conventional leaders’ minds. The differences range from great to small and reflect an overall way of thinking that completely upends the norm - for the customer, and for the better.

Here's what readers have to say:
"...Bob Emiliani is brilliant... the author summarizes and condenses this knowledge... no other author provides this kind of perspective on Lean Management and Lean Leadership... it is original thinking that you will not find elsewhere...” - John Kimball
"What an amazing little book. You really captured the essence of why so many executives struggle with Lean. I've never seen it put so clearly. It's now obvious to me that managers can take all the Lean tools and leadership behavior change training they want and still never get it. You did an awesome job."
"Your book beautifully explains why there are only a handful of truly Lean companies. And you did it in about 50 pages! It'll be a big help to newbies and people like me who have been on a Lean journey for years... maybe now we'll have a lot more Lean companies. It's the breakthrough we need."
"Moving Forward Faster is a great book. It fills gaps in knowledge about Lean Leadership, and the way you wrote this with executives in mind is effective. The format is great. It really resonates with what I have been thinking about and makes me think that much more. Well done."
