On Friday’s 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.
Feel free to share some of your favorites here as well.
"If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else." ~Lawrence J. Peter
It is important to remember as you start this New Year you start with a vision of what you want to accomplish. Whether it is a personal New Year's resolution or a new business objective you need to set a goal or target condition. From this a plan can be made to achieve your goal. You can then monitor your progress toward your goal and adjust accordingly. In 2010, think Lean, have a vision, and use PDCA otherwise it is anyone's guess where you'll end up.
Jamie Flinchbaugh wrote a nice post on New Year's Resolutions. He recommends forgoing the resolution in favor of planning and action. Check out his advice on goal setting before you tackle your own.
