Do more: mirror mirror on the wall
http://leandisciplinedsystems.blogspot.com/2010/08/mirror-mirror-on-wall.html
Tuesday, August 24, 2010. Mirror mirror on the wall. Looking at yourself whether under a magnifying glass or in a mirror rarely reveals results you want to find. You may find flaws you thought didn't exist. It's hard to discover bad things about yourself. It's even harder if someone else knows (or tells you) about them. Discovering them however, is the first step in eliminating them. Of course, I'm not talking about you physically now am I? I'm talking about your business. Do you have quality. I'm very i...

Do more: the process of product development
http://leandisciplinedsystems.blogspot.com/2010/05/process-of-product-development.html
Tuesday, May 4, 2010. The process of product development. Good products and great solutions don’t ‘just happen’. The process of product development is just as important as the results. How is this possible, you might ask? There is a phrase I use when praising slow food and when talking about product development; here it is: garbage in, garbage out. I used to have a naysayer on every team I led. You probably have a few yourself. or maybe it's YOU! What are you facing? Tuesday, May 04, 2010. Because then I...

Do more: keep it to yourself!
http://leandisciplinedsystems.blogspot.com/2010/10/keep-it-to-yourself.html
Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Keep it to yourself! Have you ever invented something? Have any patents under your belt? I have a feeling you have. Most of us have a few eureka moments in our lives, others blessed with many. Where do good ideas come from? Check out this TED. Talk by Steven Johnson here. Steven was also featured in the Wall Street Journal. September 25th, in the article, The Genius of the Tinkerer. In a similar tone to his TED talk, he speaks about how to use technology. It's clearly about not.

Do more: Over processed
http://leandisciplinedsystems.blogspot.com/2010/04/over-processed.html
Tuesday, April 27, 2010. There is such a thing as being over-processed. You may be experiencing this right now: so many checks and balances that your hands are tied and your projects can’t move forward. Aren’t checks and balances good? In efforts to be lean and to minimize defects, some companies have work. Ed very hard implementing special reports, long step by step processes, and multiple authorizations to find themselves spending a lot of time* doing work unrelated to design and producing product.

Do more: busy doing nothing
http://leandisciplinedsystems.blogspot.com/2010/08/busy-doing-nothing.html
Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Defined simply by Wiktionary. As “a moving or going forward; a proceeding onward; an advance”. Progress is something you can witness. You know the days I’m talking about. It just feels good. When you’ve completed. A project, nailed the critical idea. In the development of a product, solved. The root cause of a big problem, or simply sold. It feels good when you make progress. What about the other days you work? What about the people you work with? With disregard for future work.

Do more: thank you
http://leandisciplinedsystems.blogspot.com/2010/11/thank-you.html
Tuesday, November 23, 2010. As a child growing up ten miles from the middle of nowhere, I enjoyed abundant wildlife in the woods surrounding our home. Winter or summer, a gaggle of turkeys would walk close to the house, their shrill gobbles announcing their presence and calling us to the windows to watch them. I think of these mornings especially around Thanksgiving. Thank you for your support to WE. And for following me on this blog! I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving. Tuesday, November 23, 2010.

Do more: Down in Mexico
http://leandisciplinedsystems.blogspot.com/2010/08/down-in-mexico.html
Tuesday, August 10, 2010. Down in Mexico things are different. Down in Mexico, people are genuinely interested in who you are. It's also good to know that while extremely hard working, time means much less than it does in the midwest. What does this mean to you? Cultural differences run both ways and it's important to understand how. To say something as much as what. Tuesday, August 10, 2010. I'm very interested in what you have to say.
