Our friend and Lean Blog sponsor (in that order), Bob Emiliani has a contest and an offer you might be interested in. Go to his website via this link and you can enter to win a set of all eight books, pictured at left, all signed by Bob. You have to write up to 150 words telling Bob why you want the books and what you hope to do with what you’ll learn.

Bob’s books are full of straight talk about lean leadership or historical significance, or both. I recommend them highly, especially for those who have been working at this for a while and need a boost and some tips to figure out what might be going wrong (from know Bob’s work, it might be due to having a “zero-sum mentality” or because you’re ignoring the “respect for people” principle).

About LeanBlog.org: Mark Graban is a consultant, author, and speaker in the “lean healthcare” methodology, focused on improving quality and patient safety, improving access, reducing costs, and fully engaging healthcare professionals. He is also the Chief Improvement Officer for KaiNexus.
