Strategic view and formulation is crucial to enhance efficiencies and effectiveness of the businesses performance. Prior research however found lack of leader's intervention can lead to failures in lean production implementation.

Findings reveal a positive relationship between lean production and business performance. Specifically, democratic leadership style was identified to moderate the relationship between lean production and business performance.
