Respect for People: To do what is right for the well-being of those who depend on you in the long run, even if this causes mutual discomfort or conflict in the present moment. #respect #kaizen #leadership linkedin.com/pulse/redefinin…

Jidoka is a combination of man, simple tool, and complex automation. Just-in-time is all about the courage to want to achieve something that we know is impossible to do so.

One manager told me when I left the company yesterday that she feels that work is what makes her feel healthier now. This made everything so worthwhile. It is all about people. #Kaizen
