Comments on: Clearing the Bar http://oldleandude.com/2013/12/02/clearing-the-bar/ A Blog About Understanding TPS and Gaining Its Full Benefits, brought to you by "The Toast Guy" Mon, 02 Dec 2013 19:07:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Alan Stalker http://oldleandude.com/2013/12/02/clearing-the-bar/#comment-1272 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 19:07:45 +0000 http://oldleandude.com/?p=1404#comment-1272 Just another great story from Bruce, that about half the people who read will understand.

My amusment comes from watching people and companies leap from one lean hobby horse to the next when consistancy is so fundamental to success.

Since seeing Kaizen Toast for the first time I have been a follower of Bruce and his teachings and it is not rocket sience it is about achieving culture change through respecting peoples opinions and giving them control of their work place in a real and respectful manner while transforming their Managers from Managers to Coaches and if the Managers cannot make the transition move them on and get a manager that can be moulded.

My job is now full time moving from area to area and plant to plant working with teams for about 3 months to achieve lasting culture change the goal is to build such a strong culture of ownership that the team generally decides the path and the Manager/Coach plays a support and advisory role. When I move into an area in the first or second meeting with the team I play the kaizen toast video and the impact is always profound.

Thanks Bruce your a legend.
