The Lean Turnaround Quotes

“Everyone wants to improve his company’s results. I have found, however, that the best way to reliably improve your results is to fix your processes.”
― Art Byrne, Lean Turnaround (PB): How Business Leaders Use Lean Principles to Create Value and Transform Their Company

“If you are not contributing to helping the value-adding people do their jobs in an easier and better way, then you are just waste. Unfortunately, the traditional command-and-control management approach does not recognize this, with the result that a company’s most important decisions are usually made far from where the value is being added. This tends to create a check-your-brains-at-the-door atmosphere that vastly underutilizes people.”
