2 Second Lean (How to Grow People and Build a Fun Lean Culture at Work & at Home, 3rd Edition)

Product Information

No consultant-speak or keeper-of-the-faith orthodoxy here, but a deeper, almost spiritual, grasp of being Lean. Mark not only revisits the original Fred to gain new insights, but also equips all of us with new strategies to achieve more. If you ever feel that Paul taught you something make sure to do the same as well for the next person. It also emphasised on giving back to the community though learning and sharing and fastcap is an best example.

And “straighten” is also not necessary to require in the daily 3S process because of the next element of this lean operating system: teaching everyone to see waste. In my opinion, that is the significant contribution this book makes to the broader base of knowledge. Len Green, an experienced investor, entrepreneur, and business professor, shares inside secrets and proven tactics for launching a business. Generosity is central to the 2 Second Lean wordview and philosophy and these organizations take the principle very seriously: giving is truly better than receiving.

Instead, Paul tries to show in this book how Lean is supposed to be taken: as a life tool and a life way of thinking, not just a work tool meant to increase profit. For people that are trying to learn abour Lean Methodologies, Paul Akers shows a very humble, fun and exciting perspective about it.

Their approach to engaging employees for their ideas is World Class and it shows with everything Paul and his team do.

Born and raised in Southern California, Paul was drawn towards excellence and high standards from an early age. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, and these ideas remain as relevant and timely as ever. If you're looking for a simple introduction that will be easy to give to entry level staff, this is a good resource.

To be lean is to eliminate what bugs you, going one at a time, and standing on it’s two foundational principles: eliminating waste and continuous improvement. He has never had to lay off an employee, nor cut one salary and currently offers among the highest entry level pay in the region. He scheduled time for a daily meeting that is never missed and always attended, and they’ve been doing it for now for years on end.Built To Last, the defining management study of the 90s, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the very beginning. Today, with stiff competition from the networked global economy, delivering extraordinary results is more important than ever. But if you’re looking for a clear and simple step-by-step method for implementing lean at your organization, we’ve actually compiled many of the best 2 Second Lean videos and resources into a free course. Stop making crazy and unsustainable changes… instead figure out what you can be continuously improving and make small (2 second) improvements.

Paul personally visited the City of Ferndale and spent time with employees teaching the concepts of Lean. He reads the audiobook himself and would literally go off on tangents about stuff that popped into his head.After listening to this book and hearing the energy and happiness that Paul has, I want nothing more than our team to enjoy coming to work and loving what the do and having fun doing it! I am eager to see how the training translates this very manufacturing-oriented concept into something that makes sense in my human services organization. He teaches you his method for training and inspiring employees, teaching accountability, and improving performance for any size business. No flow charts or graphs – just the real life journey of one company and the astounding results Lean thinking can produce.
