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.
“As you’re the only one you can really change, the only one who can really use all your good advice is yourself.” — John-Roger and Peter McWilliams
The
abilities, work habits, or loyalties that served you well in times past may
outlive their usefulness. The winds of change reshape circumstances and present
different problems. New personalities come into the picture. Even if your job
title and duties remain the same, the situation calls for something new out of
you.

Be sure to
shift your job’s priorities to match the changes in organizational priorities.
Align yourself with any changes in values and culture. Adjust your approach to
fit the personality and management style of new leaders. Get busy developing
new competencies if your skills become outdated. Tom Peters wrote, “Only those
who constantly retool themselves stand a chance of staying employed in the
years ahead.”

Be alert.
Catch on. Refocus rapidly. Examine your job and identify the critical few,
make-or-break factors important for job success. Chances are something there
has changed.
