I wanted to share that one of my early experiments in e-book publishing is available for free on Amazon Kindle for a limited time — from now through May 25.

About the Book

Reflections from Lean Leaders: Transcripts from Podcast Interviews with Authors and Thought Leaders is a curated collection of conversations from my podcast, Lean Blog Interviews. These are transcripts–lightly edited–from episodes featuring some of the most respected voices in Lean, leadership, and improvement.

This book features insights from:

  • Jim Womack, co-author of The Machine That Changed the World
  • John Shook, author of Managing to Learn
  • Norman Bodek, the “Godfather of Lean” in the West
  • Kim Barnas & John Toussaint on Lean in healthcare
  • Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup
  • Steven Spear, David Mann, Jeffrey Liker, Jamie Flinchbaugh, and many others

What You'll Learn

These interviews go beyond tools and tactics. They explore how leaders think about:

  • The evolution of Lean from factories to healthcare to startups
  • Creating a culture of respect, learning, and daily improvement
  • The tension between real transformation and superficial change
  • Mistakes made along the way–and the lessons behind them
  • The practical side of leading with humility

Who This Is For

If you're a:

  • Healthcare leader seeking sustainable change
  • Startup founder influenced by The Lean Startup
  • Operational excellence professional
  • Continuous improvement coach or change agent
  • Or simply curious about Lean leadership across industries…

…you'll find value and inspiration here.

Grab the Kindle book here (U.S. store) — and feel free to share with a colleague or team.

If you've read it before or have thoughts on how these conversations influenced your own work, I'd love to hear your reflections.
