Adults with the most education are afraid to experiment and fail in this challenge. Kids do better because they will try and learn. https://t.co/8Lz6ur0UIX

John Shook: "There’s no 12-step program that will get you to the #Lean enterprise. It’s situational." You can't just copy Toyota.

"If you can't measure it, you can't improve it." That gets thrown around as gospel truth, but it's really a very untrue statement. #Lean
— Mark Graban (@MarkGraban) January 10, 2017

Tables turn – I just told my PT provider "I'm sorry, but my first availability is Jan 26." I've picked up in healthcare lingo over time.
