I was checking out the blog server logs and it claims there was a blog visitor from “Iran, Islamic Republic Of”. Yes, that Iran.
They searched MSN for the phrase “lean production toyota” and found my blog. I suppose they would have manufacturing there and that they would want to get better. Interesting.
If you’re working to build a culture where people feel safe to speak up, solve problems, and improve every day, I’d be glad to help. Let’s talk about how to strengthen Psychological Safety and Continuous Improvement in your organization.
At least the search term was not: “Lean process to exterminate the infidels”
Or “Applying lean principles to the manufacture of Atomic bombs and other WMDs”
Well that certainly was a brave comment to make Mr. or Ms. Anonymous.
It’s terribly ignorant to think all people there are terrorists. There must be some people trying to live a normal live building products, something we should be able to appreciate as lean people.
Relax Mark,
That was actually a joke specifically targeted at that stereotype.
If that was humor, rememer that sarcasm doesn’t usually come across well via email or text.
It wasn’t very funny.
