Families What is unique about Lean in the public sector?
• In the private sector, the “customer is always right”
• In the public sector, sometimes the interests of the client and the greater public don’t match
• We try our best to balance these different interests as we work to deliver our services

McGregor’s Theories of X and Y
X doesn’t always mark the spot...
Theory X says that people: Theory Y says that people:
Need close supervision Want independence in work
Will avoid work when possible Naturally want to work
Will avoid responsibility Seek responsibility
Desire only money Are motivated by self-fulfillment
Must be pushed to perform Will drive themselves to perform
