A team member is sabotaging your Lean project goals. Here's how to address this challenge effectively and diplomatically.

When a team member undermines Lean project goals, it can stall progress and affect morale. Addressing this issue promptly and tactfully is crucial:

• Identify the root cause: Understand why the sabotage is happening by having a private, non-confrontational conversation.

• Reinforce Lean principles: Reiterate the importance of Lean methodologies and how they benefit the team and project.

• Implement corrective actions: Set clear expectations and, if necessary, reassign tasks to mitigate further disruption.
