Description

The blog post

Halloween might be about ghosts, zombies, and monsters -- but those same creatures sometimes show up in our organizations all year long. They lurk in old processes, mindless routines, and fear-based management habits. Here's how to spot the spooky stuff in your systems -- and how Lean thinking helps us drive the fear out of improvement.

  • Ghosts of outdated processes.
  • Zombie routines that waste energy.
  • Monsters born of fear and blame.
  • Frankenstein systems cobbled together without purpose.
