Are you ahead or behind? If you do it well, share it. The power of knowledge investments Strive to put yourself out of business Creating a safe culture Don’t get too far ahead or too far behind The best ideas come from the shop floor Constructive Discontent You have to be hearable Without struggle, there is no progress Steering through turbulence The magic of aligning on values QUOTES Zack - Inspiration from Toyota’s Yokoten Notion: “If a for-profit global company can take their resources to drive efficiency with others, we can do the same thing. And that's what started our share intervention when we began, not just investing money, but time resources in the Toyota Production System.” Zack - Think about what the customer wants: “We realized that just being reactive wasn't enough. Just building houses wasn't enough. They talked about upstream solutions, and the best upstream, and they talked about what would the customer want? Think about does the customer want us to rebuild their house? Or would they want to never need our help in the first place?” Check out John McMahon’s book here: https://www.amazon.com/Qualified-Sales-Leader-Proven-Lessons/dp/0578895064
