6 Lean Leadership Actions (New York State CoP)

“Are you too busy for improvement? Frequently, I am rebuffed by people who say they are too busy and have no time for such activities. I make it a point to respond by telling people, 'Look, you’ll stop being busy either when you die or when the company goes bankrupt.' ”  

—Shigeo Shingo, author of the Toyota Production System
