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?
Feel free to leave a comment and share…

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.
