Description

In this short bonus episode, I’m joined by my friend and Lean Coffee Talk co-host, Jamie Flinchbaugh. We’re inviting you — our listeners and fellow continuous-improvement thinkers — to help shape upcoming conversations.


We’d love to hear your questions about Lean, leadership, culture, and problem-solving. The best discussions often start with the toughest questions — the ones without neat answers.


If you have something you’ve been wrestling with or want to hear us unpack together, please share it with us at:

👉 https://www.leanblog.org/coffeequestions


We may feature your question (and name) in a future episode — and yes, we’re doing a few Lean Coffee Talk mug giveaways for contributors ☕


Possible Question Themes


  • Building psychological safety while still holding people accountable




  • Making Leader Standard Work more about behavior than calendar




  • Avoiding bureaucracy while sustaining Lean improvements




  • Responding to mistakes with curiosity instead of blame




  • Using data wisely: when to react, when to step back




If you’ve got a question, story, or Lean challenge — send it our way. We can’t wait to explore it with you in a future episode.
