Read Lean to be Lean
There are a few basic principles when it comes to being lean. It sounds easier said than done but it is not impossible.
If your resolution for 2017 is to achieve your desired ambitions or outcomes with minimum fuss, and somehow, three months into it, this is not happening, consider picking up this book.
It is direct and to the point. Pretty apt, if you ask me. It covers areas pertaining not just to business but to your life as well.
Now if you are expecting a book that is colourful and full of pictures, this is not the book for you. It is filled with useful pointers and black-and-white graphs. So it looks like the author is sticking to his own rules when it comes to writing this book.
Talking about being lean may sound dull to most people however, this might actually be one of the rare books where being lean or introducing lean into your work and personal life might be feasible and relatively easy to read.

The Lean Book of Lean is a very good book. It made me think about my need to make changes - how can I adopt Lean methodologies in business if I'm not practising them in my life? A lot of extremely good advise and examples, the author clearly has a lot of top quality business experience. A quick read and a good price, so win win.
