Todd Lankford is on a relentless pursuit to help managers and their product teams embrace the core enablers of lean leverage to maximize outcomes while respecting people.

Lean Leverage: It’s what happens when you remove the inessential to deliver maximum outcomes while respecting people.

Less is more. Less is better. Less is faster. Less is cheaper.

Todd’s approach helps today’s enterprises simplify the way they work to evolve products their customers need in reduced time—all while ensuring respect for people. Todd coaches executives, managers, and teams to cultivate behaviors that embrace change and enable great products to emerge and thrive.

To date, Todd has consulted over 75 Fortune 500 companies, government entities, and startups in his pursuit of Lean Leverage. While this might seem like a large number, he feels this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Through his writing, speaking, products, and services, he is on a mission to inform and equip every product team, manager, and executive with the foundational enablers to ensure their success. This includes those just starting their journey and those looking to take their practice to the next level.


Todd brings a unique blend of skills in product strategy, software development, user experience and engagement, and business know-how. He has been practicing agile and lean frameworks and principles for over twenty years.

Also, on Medium, Todd is the Editor and Writer for Lean Leverage, a Writer for The Startup, a Writer for Illuminationand a Top Writer for Leadership and Productivity.
