A Lean Journey 
On Fridays I will post a Lean related Quote. Throughout our lifetimes many people touch our lives and leave us with words of wisdom. These can both be a source of new learning and also a point to pause and reflect upon lessons we have learned. Within Lean active learning is an important aspect on this journey because without learning we can not improve.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” — John Quincy Adams
People do what
they have to do for a manager, they do their best for an inspirational
leader. The ability to inspire people to
reach great heights of performance and success is a skill that leaders need.
Passion, purpose, listening and meaning help make a leader inspirational. Leaders
must create a corporate culture that inspires, empowers, and energizes
employees.

To inspire, you
must both create resonance and move people with a compelling vision. You must embody what you ask of others, and
be able to articulate a shared vision in a way that inspires others to
act. You must offer a sense of common
purpose beyond the day-to-day tasks, making work exciting with fun.
