Listen as Greg Howell tells the origin story of Lean Construction

Welcome to episode #42 of The Construction Leading Edge Podcast from www.constructionleadingedge.com, which is a great interview with Greg Howell, a founding father of Lean Construction.

In this interview Greg shares some amazing insights and stories on the following topics:

• How the Lean Construction movement got started.

• Greg's experience as a Navy SeaBee, and how that influenced Lean.

• The impact of one commanding officer's leadership style, and how it changed Greg's approach to leadership.

• The books he recommends that you read

• A few paradigm shifts that construction leaders need to make.

• The difference between an order and a promise.

• One unexpected benefit of Lean principles that he can't quite explain yet.

• Why he only gave a few orders as a commanding officer in Vietnam...and one of them involved a monkey.
