Leaders ran on interrupts

Every day started with a plan. By 9 AM it was gone. Gemba walks got skipped, coaching sessions got postponed, KPI reviews happened in the hallway. Critical leadership routines quietly disappeared, and nobody noticed until results started slipping.

Now discipline is built in

TeamGuru defines what every leader should do daily, weekly, and monthly. When a routine is completed, it is recorded. When it is skipped, it shows. Senior leaders see adherence rates across the entire organization.

Common questions

Who defines the standard work for each leader? +
Typically the leader's manager, in collaboration with the leader themselves. The standard work should reflect the key activities that drive results at that level.
What happens if a leader misses their standard work? +
Missed items are visible on dashboards and can trigger notifications to the leader and their manager. The goal is transparency, not punishment. It helps identify where leaders are overloaded.
Can standard work change over time? +
Yes. As the organization matures or priorities shift, standard work definitions should be updated. The system maintains a history of changes for reference.
Is this just for frontline supervisors? +
No. Leader standard work applies at every level: team leaders, shift supervisors, department managers, plant directors, and even executives. The activities differ, but the discipline is the same.
How does this relate to gemba walks? +
Gemba walks are a common daily standard work item. You can define the route, frequency, and focus topics for gemba walks and track their completion alongside other leadership activities.
