wow. as always, a timeley and relavent post… I appreciate that when I read your insights I often want to shout an “AMEN!” from cubeland… the Respect for People part of lean is SOO completely important. There is no magic in the lean tools we use, it’s all in what we do with the information they are giving us… building up and coaching team members with a lean mindset isn’t as “easy” as rolling out tools, but the results are A.Mazing!

Thanks for mentioning the books. It is true, folks are gravitating more towards the tools to address symptoms of problems. It is easier to do than actually changing culture. Creating a fearless environment is a scary proposition. That’s where we come in! Here’s to job security and doing it right. Culture over tools. Concepts over Japanese words. Now to Amazon…

Thanks Bruce.

Our employees are the geese who lay the golden eggs. Stephen Covey called the golden eggs the Production and the geese the Production Control. Our optimum state is a balance of these two. Covey called it the P/PC balance. We can’t kill the goose and take out the eggs. We establish good PC by respecting, involving and engaging our employee, the very ones who maintain and sustain our P.

I ordered all three books to learn what our early leaders had to say about employee involvement.

Great post, Bruce! I loved hearing your insights on the AME panel.

You are always brilliantly and humbly insightful.

It’s a wonderful combination that all leaders would do well to emulate.
