Valentine's Day isn't just about flowers and chocolate.

It's about flow.
It's about respect.
It's about asking “Why?” five times.

If you've ever said “gemba,” “poka-yoke,” or “stop the line” with a straight face, this post is for you.

Welcome to Lean & Lean Startup Candy Hearts.

Which one is your favorite?
Or what would your Lean candy heart say?

Spread the Lean Love (One Small Idea at a Time)

Valentine's Day might be over, but appreciation for good ideas never goes out of season.

Whether it's “Be My Root Cause” or “Stop the Line,” sometimes a little humor is the perfect reminder that improvement doesn't have to be heavy or complicated.

Small ideas.
Small smiles.
Small improvements.

That's how culture changes.
