Lean Podcast-Managing the Fear of Failure in Lean

Today’s podcast addresses a topic that many ‘Lean Rookies’ face: the fear of failure.

Making mistakes is a part of kaizen–when you are trying a lot of things quickly, not all of them are going to work out. Listen in to a story about how I overcame a failure on my very first kaizen and learned some important lessons about Lean. This presentation runs for 7:47.

I also want to announce my latest product, a 96 page Lean Tutorial titled Structuring Standard Work: A Leader’s Guide to Developing Standard Work That Works.

I’ll be posting some excerpts from it soon, so please check it out when you get a chance.
