Description

Most business readers have heard of the Lean principles developed for factories―a set of tools and ideas that have enabled companies to dramatically boost quality by reducing waste and errors―producing more at the same time as the use of less. Yet until now, few have recognized how relevant these powerful ideas are to individuals and their daily work. Every person at a desk, drafting table, workstation, or operating table must (like a factory) deal with the challenge of reducing the waste that creeps into their work. The same Lean principles that have improved efficiencies on the factory floor can be just as powerful―if truth be told, far more so―in helping individuals boost personal performance.
