Lean isn't just a system-it's a state of mind.
In The Lean Brain, industrial engineering expert and Lean thought leader Mohammed Hamed Ahmed Soliman reveals a powerful new frontier for continuous improvement: the human brain.
Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and Lean Six Sigma principles, this groundbreaking book explores how lasting transformation happens not through better tools-but through rewiring how people think, feel, and act.
You'll learn:
Why resistance to change is not defiance-but a survival response triggered in the amygdala
How uncertainty and ambiguity shut down learning and innovation in organizations
How to activate true engagement using the SCARF model: Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, and Fairness
The neuroscience behind PDCA, Kata, and habit loops-and how to build a culture of learning
How leaders can create psychologically safe environments that unlock high performance
Whether you're a Lean professional, change agent, executive, or team leader, The Lean Brain offers a compelling new perspective on human-centered improvement. This is more than Lean 2.0-it's Lean powered by science.
Because true transformation doesn't begin with software or dashboards.
It begins with how we think.
