As March Madness begins, many people's eyes will be fixed to TVs and computer screens while they root for the favorite teams. Where's the lesson for Lean in there? It comes in exactly the winners and losers – may the best team win.
I love to ask people the definition of a team, because I also get the wrong answer. To be more accurate, I only get half of the correct answer.

Let’s work together to build a culture of continuous improvement and psychological safety. If you're a leader looking to create lasting change—not just projects—I help organizations:
- Engage people at all levels in sustainable improvement
- Shift from fear of mistakes to learning from them
- Apply Lean thinking in practical, people-centered ways
