Ron:
It has been very educational and informative reading your posts. We actually bought some of your DVDs and started a training for new people coming into the company, and I’ve always wanted to write you and thank you for focusing Lean manufacturing more on respecting people in enviroments were lean practices can turn easily into “MEAN” manufacturing as you once said.
In our company, has been a battle that I beleive we are winning over the years; the more we focus on people the better results we get.
Finally, I can humbly add to your list “Communication”. Some times there is in companies someone who knows “everything” and expect from everybody else the same and as a consecuence there is no information transfered down stream when there is a change or modification or improvment. So, basiclly it is imposed by the guru, and there is la lack of involving people who can add from their experience, skills and knowledge to the process beeing changed.

Again, thanks a lot for making Lean more human.

When faced with a person that makes a claim to know about someone or something that you find to be very unlikely (Such as a rumor), a good response that can avoid an arguement over that claim would be to ask “How do you know”?, and then remain silent while they struggle to come up with an appropriate answer.
