Gemba Leader Walk & Daily Management Checklist

Use this checklist during short, respectful leader Gemba visits to turn direct observation into coaching, owned actions, and verifiable follow-up. Focus on facts, ask coaching questions, teach one practical correction if needed, decide an ownered action, and set a verification timeline.

Local date and time of the walk (e.g., 2026-08-29 09:15).
Record objective observations: what you saw, heard, measured, or counted. Avoid interpretations here.
Capture any metric values or targets that were visible or discussed (e.g., uptime %, daily target, backlog).
Select the coaching questions you actually used during the conversation. Use the custom field below to add other questions.
Add any additional question you asked that isn't listed above.
Capture key team member responses, insights, constraints, or suggestions.
