Lean Thinking for the Organization

5

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit."- Aristotle

There are no organizations without institutional habits. There are only places where they are deliberately designed, and places where they are created without forethought, so they often grow from rivalries or fear.

- Charles Duhigg, “The Power of Habit”

“First Things Before First Things”-Tom Peters

1. Front-line Managers

‣ Greatest positive or negative impact on employees

2. Cross-functional Excellence

‣ Bringing teams together with a common goal

3. Strategic Listening

‣ On average Doctors interrupt patients after 18 seconds…

4. Meetings

‣ Every meeting that does not stir the imagination and curiosity of attendees, and increase bonding and co-operation and engagement and sense of worth, and motivate rapid action and enhance enthusiasm is a permanently lost opportunity
