- BACKGROUND: There is a need for more knowledge about leadership interventions and their implications for production and sick leave.OBJECTIVE : The purpose of this study was to examine how productivity and rate of sick leave changed at a stainless wire manufacturing unit after implementing a new leadership approach based on Sense of Coherence theory (SOC) and Lean philosophy.METHODS: In this case study, productivity, quality and sick leave were evaluated through the company’s key performance indicators. The follow-up was also based on narrative descriptions from the management team in the course of four meetings during the intervention. Notes were taken and analyzed regarding perceived outcomes of the intervention.RESULTS: The results showed that productivity per worker increased, as did the amount of yearly production that met the quality specifications. The amount of sick leave decreased during the period of the intervention compared to before the intervention.CONCLUSIONS: A leadership approach based on SOC combined with Lean philosophy can positively influence productivity and decrease the rate of sick leave.
