In my second review for the Annual Management Improvement Carnival I have chosen one of my favorite bloggers, Mark Hamel. Mark won the Shingo prize for his book Kaizen Event Fieldbook and writes on Gemba Tales. I also highlighted Mark's blog on last year annual carnival. Mark and I have known each other for a few years as we live about 20 miles apart.
Mark is quite creative and his writing style is easy to interpret. With Mark I always feel like I can apply what I learn from him right away in the Gemba and see real improvement. Even though Mark has been busy working on a new book he still finds time to share those golden nuggets that make you say "Oh yeah. I can do that."
Here is a sample of those golden nuggets from Mark:
