@Ryan Tierney super excited to read your book! Congratulations on the launch and I look forward to seeing and hearing about all the places that are impacted by the wisdom held in its pages.
Getting people to agree to play in a corn hole tournament proved to generate less excitement than initially thought. But bring the boards out to start playing and the people come to play.
@Ryan Tierney Thank you for this podcast! The foundation is selflessness in a short word wouldn’t you agree? Tearing down the silos is really tough at the start when the trust isn’t there. One of the ways we are starting to try and team build to tear down silos at our company is to play corn hole on breaks to engage in friendly interactions so the hard interactions come easier with a friendly face.
@Ryan Tierney The biggest takeaway for me was The tie between morning meeting and openness in the culture. The morning meeting is the platform for the communication on “accidental waste”, but it can only happen with the culture of openness underneath it. My goal the next few weeks is understanding why the openness is not as strong as it should be for us. We need the openness to get better, to expose waste, to make work easier tomorrow than it is today.
What does respect for people look like? Sometimes I think we get this wrong. For Toyota this is one of two pillars: Respect for people and Continuous improvement. Without it our style of lean will be unstable on a single pillar. What does respect for people look like to you in your company?
I would like to invite anyone in the group to post improvements you are making. Not just as a reply but make a new post and share it with your network.
