Great questions! A mindless gemba walk is meaningless. The true aim is to develop Profound Knowledge (see Deming) by applying all of the following: 1. Theory 2. Practice 3. Reality (Gemba). Always imagine the ideal, then practice the steps of the Process of ongoing improvements from the Theory of Constraints. Finally, in order to balance Short term vs Long term thinking pay attention to all the layers of the Iceberg model simultaneously: events/transactions, patterns, structure, vision/scenarios, mindset/purpose and spirituality (my contribution). The above will create an environment for Respect for People. In order to sustain ie "hold the gains" of such Gemba walk efforts, add to the above the Intent-based leadership by David Marquet via Cascaded Leadership (Socio-technological theory) that will move human behaviours from Capability Immaturity Model to Capability Maturity Model. Sue Dyer's book (construction industry) is a great read on Trust-based Leadership.
