You could be waiting for Lean to click because you formed a team, gave them goals, then handed off execution with no real plan. Your team is frustrated; they are lacking support from the top, and are wondering if this is just going to be another flavor of the month. You might be guilty of doing Lean TO people, not WITH people. If you're not careful, you won't become a Lean Leader - you'll become a MicroManager.

You could be waiting for Lean to click because you sent your employee to training YOU were interested in, not training THEY needed. They were sent to training - came back with a better attitude for a couple of weeks, made a few changes, and let everything go back to the way it was. You created a hostage, not a problem solver.

You could be waiting for Lean to click because you keep saying, "For every problem you bring me, bring me two solutions." Your team is frustrated because they're treating symptoms, not solving root causes. You think you're developing problem solvers, but you're actually programming people to jump to conclusions. They're skipping the most critical step - understanding what's really causing the issue.
