Air Date 8/27/2025 RFK Jr. and the Make America Healthy Again movement aren't completely wrong about everything, they often identify the larger structural problems with the US health industrial complex even if their proposed solutions are wildly off the mark. But the problem they failed to see coming when partnering with Trump and the Republicans is that they're only going to be allowed to misguidedly defund and dismantle parts of the government that support health which is in line with the broader burn-it-all-down vibes of the MAGA movement, but under no circumstances will they be allowed to implement new regulations that might actually do the public some good at the expense of corporate interests because that would go against the pro-corporate/deregulation obsession of the Republican Party. So, MAHA might be a mixed bag but what the country is getting is a lose/lose. Be part of the show!

Apply for the Nov 2025 (limited spots remaining) or May 2026 Japan Leadership Experiencehttps://kbjanderson.com/japantrip/ “Change the culture!”That's exactly what longtime Toyota leader Isao Yoshino was tasked with during one of the most famous business transformations in history—NUMMI—Toyota's joint venture with General Motors in the 1980s.The challenge? Take GM's worst-performing plant—plagued by absenteeism, low morale, and poor quality—and turn it around.Within just one year, with the same American workforce but under Toyota's leadership, NUMMI became GM's best-performing site.Behind the scenes was Mr. Yoshino, leading the design and delivery of a three-week training program in Japan for hundreds of NUMMI's frontline and middle managers.In this episode, Mr. Yoshino shares the inside story of NUMMI's transformation—how an experiment in a business turnaround became a “New Me” moment for its leaders—and the leadership lessons you can use to influence culture change without relying on authority.If you're a lean practitioner or change leader wondering how to truly “change a culture,” this is a rare chance to hear the story directly from the person who lived it.You'll Learn:Why you can't force culture change—and what to do insteadHow Mr. Yoshino and his team created  immersive learning experiences that shifted NUMMI leaders' mindsets in just three weeksWhy the “Check” step in PDCA is the secret to Toyota's sustained success How the andon process reshaped leaders' views on problems—and how a “no problem is a problem” and no-blame mindset fosters learning and continuous improvementWhy NUMMI's transformation was as much (or more) about people as it was about performanceABOUT MY GUEST:Isao Yoshino, worked at Toyota Motor Corporation for over 40 years—from the late 1960s to the early 2000s—and played an important role in the development of Toyota's people-centered learning culture it's now famous for. He was a key part of Kan-Pro senior leadership development program, which embedded A3 thinking as the process for problem-solving, communication, and leadership development across the organization—and has deep expertise in the practice of hoshin-kanri—Toyota's strategy deployment process.

My guest for Episode #532 of the Lean Blog Interviews Podcast is Anne Frewin, a seasoned Lean leader with over 12 years of improvement experience in healthcare, laboratories, and manufacturing. Updated with the correct audio Episode page with video, transcript, and more Anne's background in finance and healthcare administration provided her with a unique entry point into Lean -- first supporting improvement efforts through data, and then stepping fully into the role of change agent. She shares the story of how a persistent mentor who always asked "why" helped her shift from just reporting metrics to developing problem-solving thinking and leading transformation efforts herself. In this conversation, Anne and I explore how Lean principles, such as respect for people, effective idea systems, and a problem-solving culture, manifest in real-world settings. She explains why she prioritizes coaching people to become relentless problem solvers and how systems like visual management and simple idea boards, when supported with good questions, can lead to safer, more efficient work. We also discuss how Lean applies differently (but effectively) across industries, the balance between improvement and documentation, and how to avoid siloed thinking when solving cross-functional challenges--especially in healthcare. "A strong idea system is the first real show of respect for people--it tells the frontline we value their insight and want them to own the solution." Anne also shares her perspective on Lean, Six Sigma, and Lean Six Sigma, offering a practical framework for how these approaches can coexist while serving different purposes. Throughout the episode, we reflect on systems thinking, psychological safety, and the importance of learning through experimentation. Whether you're in healthcare, manufacturing, or any people-centric industry, Anne's passion for leadership development and continuous improvement offers valuable insights. Questions, Notes, and Highlights: How did you first get exposed to Lean, and why did it resonate with you? Looking back, did your mentor's persistent "why" questions help develop your thinking more than if he had been directive? How would you explain the concept of a Lean operating system to an executive unfamiliar with it? What's the difference between "respecting people" and "respect for people" in your view? Can you share an example of an effective idea system that truly engages frontline staff? How do you balance employee-generated ideas with the need for leadership support and coaching? What's your approach to helping people decide whether to use a rapid improvement event, an A3, or a PDSA cycle? What are the three questions you use to evaluate whether an idea is safe to try? How do you coach teams to iterate and learn from problems when working across functional silos? Can you share a healthcare example where process mapping revealed hidden breakdowns or assumptions? How do you handle improvement suggestions that require significant changes, like IT systems or facility layout? How do you view the relationship between safety, quality, delivery, and financial performance? What's your perspective on Lean vs. Six Sigma vs. Lean Six Sigma, based on your experience? How do you see variation reduction as part of Lean, not just Six Sigma? What was it like moving from healthcare into manufacturing? What was surprisingly transferable? Did you encounter documentation or quality systems in manufacturing that got in the way of improvement? How do you deal with the extremes--either lack of standardization or over-control through documentation? What reflections do you have about the human side of improvement--what helps people succeed in these systems? This podcast is part of the #LeanCommunicators network.

In August 2005, 20-year-old U.S. Army soldier Joshua Bennett returned home to Illinois, grieving the unexpected loss of his father. Ne reconnects with his mother, who invited him to stay the night at her home, but within hours, Joshua would be murdered in his mother's home by a group of people who believed they were under the influence of a witch's curse. The murder of Joshua Bennett is a senseless killing fueled by occult paranoia, the power of influence, and a revenge plot gone horribly wrong. At the center: an alleged hex, a woman obsessed with retribution, and a small-town “coven” convinced that violence was their only way out.Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comFeaturing a promo for A Hateful HomicideA Hateful Homicide is a true crime podcast launched on March 31, 2021, by Transgender advocate Mallery Jenna Robinson. The podcast covers global homicide cases of all trans identities.Listen here14 News WFIE Evansville.

For review:1. Ceasefire Between Thailand & Cambodia. After efforts by Malaysia, the United States, and China to bring both sides to the table, the two countries' leaders agreed during talks in Putrajaya, Malaysia to end hostilities, resume direct communications and create a mechanism to implement the ceasefire.2. Dozens of ministers gathered at a United Nations conference on Monday to urge the international community to work toward a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians. The 193-member UN General Assembly decided in September last year that such a conference would be held in 2025. Hosted by France and Saudi Arabia, the conference was postponed in June due to the Israel-Iran war.3. IDF Assessment on Hezbollah Capabilities.In terms of firepower, Israel claims to have destroyed 70-80% of Hezbollah's rocket fire capabilities. The IDF has estimated that Hezbollah possesses several thousand rockets — the vast majority of them short-range projectiles like mortars, and only several hundred long-range ones.4. Turkey has secured a landmark defense export agreement with Indonesia, signing contracts for 48 5th Generation KAAN fighter aircraft. Deliveries of the 48 aircraft will be carried out over a 10-year period.5. Taiwan Receives Second Tranche of US M1 Main Battle Tanks.6. US Army cancels plan to develop the A3 Variant of the M88 Hercules Recovery Vehicle. Instead, the Army will pursue upgrades to the current A2 Variant.  The A3 variant was designed to eliminate the need to use two (A2 Variant) vehicles to raise and move some of the newer and heavier M1 Tanks. 7. The House and Senate Armed Services Committees have sent the Pentagon guidance for how lawmakers want to see $150 billion in defense funding from the reconciliation bill spent.

Hemos hecho vídeos de la historia de muchas marcas… pero nos faltaba nada menos que Audi. La historia de esta marca es larga y complicada así que la voy a hacer “a mi manera”, contando brevemente cómo nació la marca y repasando los 10 coches que a mí me parecen claves en su historia… a ver qué os parece la idea. Aunque la historia de Audi se puede remontar a 1899 cuando nace la marca Horch, semilla de la actual empresa, la Audi moderna nace en realidad en 1965 cuando pasa a formar parte del Grupo VAG o Volkswagen AG. En el vídeo damos un repaso a los años que van de 1899 a 1965. Aquí vamos con el listado de coches. 100 coupé C1 (1969). ¿El primer Audi Premium? Podría estar en esta lista el 100 berlina, que ya contaba con muchas de las cualidades de este coupé, pero es que esta marca desde el principio ha cuidado los modelos deportivos y coupés, esos que la han ayudado a tener la imagen de marca tan buena que ahora tiene… y esos que esta, lamentablemente, abandonando. Quattro (1980). Y todo fue diferente. Clave, porque su enorme éxito en competición, el hecho de cambiar por completo la tecnología en el mundo de los rallyes, y sus éxitos pusieron a la marca en primera fila como marca tecnológica y capaz de hacer coches muy sofisticados y eficaces… y como decía, fue el comienzo de la tecnología “Quattro”, con distintas tecnologías, hasta el día de hoy. 100 C3 (1982). Aerodinámica e inyección directa. Este 100 fue probablemente el primer coche de serie que llevaba los cristales enrasados con la carrocería, uno de los motivos de que su CX se situase en el 0,30, muy notable en su momento. Luego en 1989 llegó el motor turbodiésel de 2,5 litros con inyección directa, los famosos, para bien y para mal, TDi… recordad el “dieselgate”. A8 (1994). Chasis de aluminio y tracción total. En 1994 ni BMW ni Mercedes ofrecían una buena tracción total y una carrocería de aluminio para compensar el sobre peso de la tracción “Quattro”. Este modelo asestó un duro golpe de imagen a su competencia. RS2 Avant (1994). Con la ayuda de Porsche. Este break, o Avant como los llama Audi, era y es un verdadero devorador de las autopistas de velocidad libre en Alemania. Porsche ayudó en la puesta a punto del motor y del bastidor. El motor era un 5 cilindros de 2.226 cm3, 20 válvulas y un gran turbocompresor de forma que se alcanzaban los 315 CV. A3 (1998). Crecer por abajo. Este coche me parecía un Golf disfrazado de Audi y cuando lo probé me di cuenta de que no, era una declaración de intención es de Audi de que podía crecer hacia abajo, pero proponiendo coches con todo el ADN de Audi. Y ese A3 durante sus ya 4 generaciones, lo ha conseguido... TT (1998). ¡Te echamos de menos! Echo de menos al TT doblemente. Primero, porque tuve un TTS de la segunda generación con motor 2.0 TFSi de 272 CV y un excepcional cambio de doble embrague de 6 marchas… le echo de menos. Y todos le echaremos de menos porque ha dejado de fabricarse. R8 LMP (2000). ¡Cinco victorias en Le Mans! Este modelo fue el comienzo. En este momento Audi es la segunda marca con más victorias en las 24 horas de Le Mans, con 12+1, detrás de Porsche con 19. Y todo comenzó con este espectacular coche. RS4 B7 (2005). Lobo con piel de cordero. Y es que este coche, ya sea en berlina o Avant, parece un inocente coche familiar. Pero en su interior se esconde un motor de 4,2 litros y 420 CV combinado con la tracción total tipo Quattro. Se puede decir que Audi con este coche se reafirmó como constructor de coche de estética “inocente”, prácticos y con prestaciones de auténtico deportivo. R8 (2006). ¡Tiembla Ferrari! En realidad, este Audi seguía más el camino que abrió el Honda NSX que la gama Ferrari. Porque era un coupé de altas prestaciones, pero al mismo tiempo muy utilizable en el día a día, incluso confortable y amable. A esa “amabilidad” de su comportamiento colaboraba la tracción total. He probado estos coches en carretera y a fondo en circuito, en 2015, nada menos que Montmeló la versión V10 Plus de 610 CV… y me sorprende los “fácil” que resulta un coche de este nivel. Otro modelo que Audi ya ha dejado de fabricar… ya les diría a los “chicos” de Audi, ¿estáis seguros de lo que hacéis? Conclusión. Sinceramente a Audi le costó mucho esfuerzo ponerse a la par de las otras marcas Premium alemanas como BMW y Mercedes. Y lo consiguió a base de hacer buenos coches, de ser muy dinámicos presentando nuevos modelos de forma incesante y estando presente con modelos que son verdaderos “motores de imagen” para la marca. En cambio, últimamente, han estado un poco despistados o no han tenido mucho acierto. Su apuesta “a muerte” por los eléctricos, de Audi y de prácticamente todo el grupo VAG, casi ignorando a los híbridos, se ha mostrado todo un error.

A global economic crisis is dragging down sales.Departments are working in silos and leaders at all levels are arguing about priorities. Managers are too busy to coach their teams.You might think this describes your organization today—and it was the exact situation Toyota faced nearly 50 years ago.This challenge sparked one of the most ambitious and influential—and least known outside Japan—leadership development programs in Toyota's history: the Kanri Nouryoku Program, or Kan-Pro for short. “Kanri” meaning management, and “Nouryoku” meaning capability.Kan-Pro helped establish the people-centered learning culture Toyota is famous for today and embedded A3 thinking as a foundational process for problem-solving, communication, and leadership development.I invited Isao Yoshino—a 40-year Toyota leader who was one of the key team members who helped create and lead the program—to share his experience in two pivotal moments in Toyota's evolution and how he learned to lead cultural leadership transformation from a place of influence, not authority. Join me and Mr. Yoshino—also the subject of my Shingo-award winning book Learning to Lead, Leading to Learn — as we celebrate its 5-year anniversary this month!YOU'LL LEARN:The problem Toyota was trying to solve—and how Kan-Pro emerged as the countermeasureThe leadership styles of Masao Nemoto vs. Taiichi Ohno—and how both shaped Toyota's culture through the development of Toyota Way management culture and the Toyota Production System How Mr. Yoshino learned to coach and develop more senior executives as a mid-level internal change leaderThe process that established A3 thinking as the standard for leadership development, communication, and problem-solving across ToyotaCritical leadership behaviors that led to Toyota's success—which have come to be known as “lean management”Stay tuned for Episode 50 where Mr. Yoshino shares his major assignment to “change the culture”—how he and his team, including Lean Global Network Chairman John Shook, led the training and transformation of frontline American leaders at NUMMI, the GM–Toyota joint venture in the 1980s.ABOUT MY GUEST:Isao Yoshino, worked at Toyota Motor Corporation for over 40 years—from the late 1960s to the early 2000s—and played an important role in the development of Toyota's people-centered learning culture it's now famous for. He was a key part of Kan-Pro senior leadership development program, which embedded A3 thinking as the process for problem-solving, communication, and leadership development across the organization—and has deep expertise in the practice of hoshin-kanri—Toyota's strategy deployment process.IMPORTANT LINKS:Full episode show notes: ChainOfLearning.com/47My website with resources and ways to work with me KBJAnderson.comFollow me on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kbjandersonDownload my free KATALYST™ Change Leader Self-Assessment: KBJAnderson.com/katalyst Learn more about the Japan Leadership Experience: kbjanderson.com/japantrip My book featuring lessons from Isao Yoshino's 40 years of Toyota Leadership: LearningToLeadLeadingToLearn.comTIMESTAMPS FOR THIS EPISODE:03:51 The leadership shift behind the Toyota Way towards a people centered approach06:03 How Taiichi Ohno shaped the Toyota Production System and Masao Nemoto shaped Toyota Way style leadership07:41 Closing Toyota's leadership gap and how Kan-Pro emerged as a countermeasure12:41 Why committed top-down leadership ownership is essential to creating organizational culture14:46 How seriousness and patience sets Toyota apart15:17 Why Toyota created Kan-Pro to 're-tighten the belt' on leadership capabilities and why they need to refocus on leadership capabilities every generation18:55 The leader's role in setting direction and providing support to their people 20:40 The mindset shift in top management to not to fake it21:17 Mr. Yoshino's experience coaching senior leaders through hands-on A3 learning25:38 Key influence skills Mr. Yoshino learned from great Toyota managers28:12 The importance of respect by senior leaders even when there's resistance to change28:58 Being a Yes-Minded Persuader – a key KATALYST™ Chang Leader competency –  in bringing leaders along in change 31:25 Lessons from coaching senior leaders using A3 thinking during Kan-Pro35:45 The positive shift when leaders prepare the A3 themselves37:48 Importance of handwritten A3s to senior executives41:13 The significance of a leader stamping their hanko on an A3 document43:35 Why an A3 at Toyota is different compared to most companies45:16 Mr. Yoshino's highlights in participating in Katie's Japan Leadership Experience lean management tours 48:29 Leading change involves empathy, patience, and helping others change themselves48:50 Questions to reflect on as a change agent in your organization Apply for the Nov 2025 Japan Leadership Experience https://kbjanderson.com/japantrip/ 

En este podcast contamos con la colaboración de Airbnb https://www.airbnb.es/. Te voy a contar algunas experiencias que he tenido disfrutando de sus servicios, que seguro te van a dar buenas ideas a la hora de viajar. Primero hicimos el podcast de “Coches que me asustaron”, luego una segunda entrega titulada “Coches que me decepcionaron” y ahora llega la tercera, consecuencia de las anteriores: Coches de los que esperaba poco... ¡y me sorprendieron! Claro está que para bien. Os traigo 10 casos en los que mis “tablas” de periodista no impidieron que los coches me sorprendiesen. Opel Kadett (1984). Este coche me sorprendió. El motor era una delicia, gastaba poco, no poco, ¡muy poco! Corría, era establa, cómodo y de una calidad para mi casi desconocida en un coche de esa categoría. En esos años Opel estaba muy fuerte... no como ahora. Citroën Visa GTi (1985). En esta lista hay 3 Citroën… curioso. El Visa era un coche que convencía, pero no enamoraba… no era esa su función. Pero no fue el caso del GTi. No sé si por la mayor ligereza del Visa, si por sus 30 mm extras de distancia entre ejes o por la puesta a punto, pero este Citroën no resultaba tan dulce como el 205, pero era en mi opinión más eficaz, mucho más barato y me sorprendió… Peugeot 205 GTX (1986). Ya había probado el 205 GTi de 105 CV y me había gustado mucho por su equilibrio entre prestaciones, confort y facilidad de conducción. Pero era un coche carísimo, mucho más que sus rivales. Cuando en 1986 pude probar el GTX con motor 1.6 de 96 CV, me pareció una opción más recomendable que el carísimo GTi con 9 CV más. La estética era muy parecida, el comportamiento similar y resultaba mucho, muchísimo más barato. Fiat Tipo (1988). El Tipo, venía a sustituir al Fiat Ritmo, un coche que conocía muy bien, tanto en versión Fiat como Seat, como Ritmo o como Ronda, prácticamente lo mismo. Un coche, el Ritmo, que no me entusiasmaba mucho si he de ser sincero. Y esperaba que el Tipo fuese mejor… pero no “tanto” mejor. Para comenzar al natural me pareció precioso el diseño conjunto entre I.DE.A Institute (Turín) y el Centro Stile Fiat bajo la dirección del diseñador Ercole Spada. BMW 318i (1989). Hablo de la generación E30. Había probado el 320i con motor 2 litros de 6 cilindros en línea y 125 CV. No era un motor con muchos bajos, pero era “finísimo” y subía de vueltas que daba gusto. También había probado el 318i con motor de 4 cilindros 1.8 y 110 CV. Más equilibrado, por peso, pero de escasa potencia par ser un BMW. Y de repente BMW anuncia si 318is, con el motor de 318, pero con culata de 16 válvulas y 136 CV. R19 16v Cabrio (1991). El R19 ni siquiera en sus versiones más deportivas, era un coche que despertase pasiones por su estética. Y pensé: Pues si a un R19 16v le quitamos el techo y el coche es menos rígido… pues, pero para todo. Fiat Coupé (1993). Este modelo en 1996 llegó a montar el maravilloso motor de 5 cilindros con 20 válvulas y turbo que desarrollaba 220 CV. Pero el que yo probé llevaba el motor del Integrale, pero “rebajado” a 185 CV. El bastidor de este coche, muy afinado, guardaba un “as” en su manga: El uso de autoblocante Fergusson. Audi A3 (1996). Recuerdo que era director de una revista mensual y en el último momento nos llegó la info del Audi A3. Escribí yo mismo, con prisas, el reportaje hecho con fotos e información oficiales y cambiamos la portada poniendo una buena foto de A3 y el titular de “El Golf de Audi” que es la conclusión que saqué leyendo el dossier oficial de la marca. Periodísticamente fue un acierto porque la revista se vendió bien. Pero cuando por fin pude probar el A3 me di cuenta de mi error: Citroën Berlingo (1996). La propuesta de Citroën con el Berlingo parecía muy sensata: Diseñar un coche desde cero pensado en hacer una pequeña furgoneta. Llegó a la redacción y me la llevé esa tarde… después de tres semáforos y apena un kilómetro me enamoré de la Berlingo. Citroën Xsara Picasso (2000). Lo del nombre Picasso, que por cierto no fue nada fácil, me parecía. Pero un nombre bonito no hace mejor a un coche. Pero una vez que lo probe… ¡me pareció genial! De repente la mecánica y bastidas del sencillo Xsara lucia más, la visibilidad era magnifica, el coche amplio y práctico, y además de confortable tenía una estabilidad a prueba de bombas…

In 1995, 15-year-old Kiplyn Davis disappeared in broad daylight from her high school in Spanish Fork, Utah. Her belongings were abandoned in her locker, and she never made it to her afternoon classes. No one has seen her since. Thirty years later, the mystery of what happened to Kiplyn has endured in a community that refuses to forget her. However, as the years have passed, the ties that have bound family and friends together have begun to come undone, and secrets have started to emerge, which begs the question: how long can someone stay quiet when what they've done starts to come into the light? Anyone who has any information that can lead to the discovery of Kiplyn's remains is asked to call the Spanish Fork police department at  (801) 798-5070 or (801) 804-4700.

My guest for Episode #528 of the Lean Blog Interviews Podcast is Mark Reich, a Senior Lean Coach with the Lean Enterprise Institute and former Toyota leader with over two decades of experience. Episode page with video, transcript, and more Mark spent six years working in Japan, including helping launch the Lexus brand and later leading Hoshin Kanri strategy processes during Toyota's rapid growth in North America. He also played a pivotal role at the Toyota Supplier Support Center (TSSC), helping bring the Toyota Production System to manufacturing, healthcare, and nonprofit organizations. In our conversation, we dive into his career journey, his approach to Lean leadership, and the practical lessons behind his new book, Managing on Purpose: Using Hoshin Kanri to Develop Strategy, Align Teams, Grow Leaders, and Innovate Your Enterprise. You can get a 25% discount on the book via LEI using the code LBIPODCAST25. Mark shares compelling stories from his early days at Toyota, including working on the front lines of assembly, learning by doing, and his first experience pulling the andon cord. These moments shaped his appreciation for Toyota's deep respect for frontline work and its commitment to developing people. He reflects on how Toyota embeds learning and support into problem solving, where pulling the cord is seen as a learning opportunity, not a failure. That mindset became foundational for his later work, especially when managing enterprise-wide strategy through Hoshin Kanri. We also explore what Hoshin Kanri really is--and what it isn't. Mark challenges the overemphasis on tools like the X-matrix and instead advocates for focusing on purpose, alignment, and leadership behavior. He explains how strategy deployment at Toyota was never a one-way cascade, but a dialogue grounded in humility, curiosity, and shared responsibility. Whether you're new to Hoshin or struggling to sustain it, Mark offers insights that can help any leader make strategy a living, breathing part of organizational culture. Questions, Notes, and Highlights: How did you end up working for Toyota, and what led you to Japan? What was your educational background, and did you already speak Japanese before moving there? What was your initial role at Toyota, and how did it relate to their global expansion? Did you meet or work with John Shook during your time in Japan? How did Toyota develop you into an industrial engineer despite your background in English writing? What was it like working in a Toyota plant, and what did you learn from that experience? Did you experience any early mistakes or learning moments while working the line? How did your role evolve after leaving Japan, and how did you get involved with Hoshin Kanri in North America? What challenges was Toyota North America facing that made Hoshin Kanri so essential? How did you facilitate alignment and catchball between Toyota's plants and leadership teams? How do you define Hoshin, strategy, and Hoshin Kanri? Why do you prefer not to use the term "strategy deployment," and what's the issue with top-down-only thinking? How do you coach executives to embrace catchball and bottom-up engagement? How do you balance executive direction with frontline input in strategy development? What role does psychological safety play in making Hoshin Kanri work? How does A3 problem solving fit into the Hoshin process, and how does it help build capability? Why is it important for executives to practice PDCA and engage in direct problem solving? What's the difference between long-cycle and short-cycle PDCA, and how should leaders manage both? Why does it take most organizations a couple of years to fully embed Hoshin Kanri? What lessons do companies learn when they start with too many strategic initiatives? Why did you choose not to include the X-matrix in your book, and what are your thoughts on its use? What business problems does Hoshin Kanri best help organizations solve? How can Hoshin Kanri help clarify the distinction between daily management and long-term strategic work This podcast is part of the #LeanCommunicators network.

After 20 years in automation and controls engineering, Danny Murphy received a call from a local community college that would bring his journey full circle—back to the kind of impact his own high school electronics teacher once had on him. Today, he's a nationally recognized educator, named A3's 2024 Educator of the Year, and he's redefining what hands-on learning can look like in a modern mechatronics lab.In this episode, Danny shares how early challenges in the classroom led him to move beyond textbook instruction and introduce student-designed projects with real-world relevance. From programming robots to serve cereal and slice cake to engineering capstone challenges with custom tooling, his students are learning by doing—and developing the kind of technical and creative skills that employers notice.What began as a simple effort to share classroom activity on LinkedIn and Instagram has evolved into a powerful tool for student opportunity. With over 30,000 followers on Instagram and 11,000 on LinkedIn, Danny's short, engaging videos have led to direct job offers for students, new partnerships with engineers and PhDs, and a growing network of industry engagement. The results are tangible: students getting hired, programs gaining visibility, and technical education reaching far beyond the classroom.Listen to learn:How to transition from lecture-based teaching to hands-on, student-driven projects that boost engagementWhy adding creative freedom to technical labs leads to better retention and real-world problem-solvingA simple video strategy on LinkedIn or Instagram that can directly lead to student job offersWhat educators should consider before posting student work onlineHow showcasing student work publicly can attract industry partners and grow your program's reputation3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Student-designed projects increase both engagement and retention. Danny's students learn core concepts like user frames and loops by designing their own robotics challenges—whether it's scooping cereal or slicing cake. This creative freedom forces them to problem-solve, adapt, and truly understand the material, rather than just following instructions.2. Social media is a powerful tool for connecting students to real opportunities. By consistently posting short, authentic videos on LinkedIn and Instagram, Danny has helped at least six students get hired directly from what industry partners saw online. These platforms have become an extension of the classroom—offering visibility, credibility, and direct links to the workforce.3. Giving students real-world skills—and a teacher who believes in them—can change their lives. From project-based labs to job-ready training, Danny's classroom gives students more than technical knowledge; it gives them confidence, purpose, and a path forward. For many, it's the first time they've been truly seen for what they can do—and that recognition can be life-changing.Connect with Danny on Social Media:Instagram  |  LinkedInDon't forget to Ask Us Anything!We want to hear from you!

How many questions is too many?You know that asking effective questions is key to helping others solve problems and unlocking improvement, but can you ask too many questions?Yes! And when you do so, you actually hinder progress, not enable it.In this episode, I share one of the most common mistakes leaders and coaches alike make when learning to Break the Telling Habit® and moving from “telling” to “asking”. It's a crucial shift to stop being the expert with all the answers, but when you overpivot to only asking, you can leave the person you're intending to support feeling frustrated and stuck. Coaching for improvement isn't just about inquiry—it's about navigating what I call the “Coaching Continuum”—knowing when to provide open support for problem-solving and when to step in with direction.And importantly, always keeping the problem-solving responsibility with the person you are coaching.YOU'LL LEARN:When and how to switch between directive coaching and open coachingThe Coaching Continuum and how to maintain the ownership of problem-solving with the actual problem ownerThree key steps to navigate the Coaching Continuum effectivelyA leader or coach's role in overseeing the problem-solving process, whether using an A3 report or another improvement methodThe importance of embracing struggle in the learning process and allowing time for responseTune in to learn how to navigate this continuum and become a more effective Transformational Improvement Coach!IMPORTANT LINKS:Full episode show notes with links to other episodes and resources: ChainOfLearning.com/44Check out my website for resources and ways to work with me KBJAnderson.comFollow me on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kbjandersonDownload my FREE KATALYST™ Change Leader Self-Assessment: KBJAnderson.com/katalyst Learn more about the role of leader as coach: Learning to Lead, Leading to LearnTIMESTAMPS FOR THIS EPISODE:02:59 Navigating the coaching continuum 03:59 A brief explanation of the coaching continuum to be a more helpful coach05:32 The 3 key steps to effectively navigate the coaching continuum05:43 Step 1: Understand their thinking to know whether open coaching or directive guidance is needed07:12 Step 2: Get comfortable with struggle08:26 When to pivot from open coaching to directive coaching8:37 How to label your actions to clarify your intention11:01 Step 3: Today's not the only day, follow up with a coaching process question to encourage learning11:27 Benefit of asking a process question to understand next steps13:32 A leader's role in developing an  A3 report and owning the thinking process not the thinking15:13 Why coaching and leadership is situational15:35 Steps to make a plan for effective coaching15:42 Step 1: Ask a question before immediately jumping in15:54 Step 2: Give an example how you might approach the problem16:15 Step 3: The next step to take and what to expect

What's the real purpose behind the Japanese practices integral to lean management —like kata, obeya, and A3 reports?These methods are often misunderstood as mere templates or formats, without recognizing the deeper meaning and intention that drive their impact.In this episode, we're picking up on my conversation with Tim Wolput, Japanologist, Toyota Way management expert, and former World Aikido Champion, in Part 2 of this masterclass on Japanese culture and management. Tim brings a unique perspective on the connection between martial arts and leadership—exploring how practices like kata, obeya, and omotenashi (the spirit of hospitality) can be applied to transformational leadership in your organization.YOU'LL LEARN:What it means to flip the pyramid, highlighting the difference between servant leadership and traditional top-down leadershipWhat the tea ceremony teaches us in looking beyond transactional thinkingThe essence of obeya in being more than a space to display information and manage initiatives, but process for people development and collaborationThe importance of holding precious what it means to be human in leadership The concept of “ichigo ichie” and embracing the uniqueness of the present momentIn episode 42, we explored how Samurai and rice farming shaped Japanese leadership and how it differs from Western management. If you missed it, hit pause and listen now before continuing this episode!ABOUT MY GUEST:Tim Wolput is a Japanologist and Toyota Way Management expert passionate about helping people transform themselves, their organizations, and the world for the better.

Double Tap Episode 409 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Brownells, Swampfox Optics, XTech Tactical, Die Free Co., Night Fision, Rost Martin, and Mitchell Defense   Welcome to Double Tap, episode 409! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! GunCon   PUBLIC EVENT - June 28th Location - Cleveland, Ohio at the Twist Drill Building (1242 E 49th St) Industry/Media Events - June 25-28 (Mixed locations around the Cleveland area) https://guncon.net/event/guncon-2025/ use code wlsislife for $5 off   GOALS August 9th and 10th in Knoxville, Tennessee. https://events.goa.org/goals/   - Dear WLS Jakey Poo - You guys are all gay. Well, not you Shawn. Not you Jeremy. Not you Nick. Not really Savage either. Anyway... I had a thought the other day. Has there ever been or what do you think about a recoil suppression device, similar to a dead blow hammer. Some sort of sand filled cavity that would reciprocate more softly? I don't know, more of a concept idea. Interesting to think about I guess. P.s. Cumin Ciderbox - Double tap 404, in regards to the name/fruit orange- The color used to be called something else in English, a close conjugate of the Spanish ‘Naranja”. The fruit was already “orange” when the two became so closely linked that people just used the fruit to refer to the color. Think “Lime Green” every time someone refers to anything green to the point people forget the word “green”. That's what happened to orange. As for a question- how do you like your eggs? And no Aaron, ‘fertilized' is not an option. Mark Mark - What is the ideal set up for 2 ARs?

These features help you manage and analyze spreadsheets more efficiently—especially when working with larger datasets.We're using a sample budget spreadsheet with categories like Food, Water, Transportation, and Internet, each with amounts listed for January. Here's how we sorted that data to quickly find the highest expenses:Sorting the January ColumnOpened the Sort Options via the menu (Command + Option + R).Selected the January column.Chose Descending to sort from highest to lowest values.Instantly, the data reorganized itself to prioritize the largest expenses.Quick Filter: Focusing Your ViewNext, we explored the Quick Filter tool—a great way to temporarily hide or display specific rows without permanently deleting data. For example, we hid the Food row with a checkbox and brought it back with a simple undo (Command + Z).Advanced FilteringWe also touched on advanced filtering available in the Formatter pane. There, you can set precise criteria for what appears in your spreadsheet—ideal for more complex sorting needs.RecapSort Function: Explained how and why to use it.Hands-On Example: Sorted the January column using VoiceOver and keyboard commands.Undo + Quick Filter: Demonstrated hiding rows and bringing them back.Formatter Pane: Previewed more detailed filter controls.These tools make navigating and analyzing your spreadsheet data faster and more intuitive.

In this solo episode, Brandon unpacks a powerful idea that keeps surfacing in his work and personal life: we can't solve problems we don't understand. And we can't understand problems until we stop speaking in generalities and start getting specific.The spark came from a bedtime story with his son—What Do You Do With a Problem? by Kobi Yamada—but the insight goes much deeper. Avoiding the problem makes it grow. Facing it, defining it, and breaking it down is what opens the door to real solutions.Brandon explores how this principle shows up in manufacturing, leadership, strategy, communication, and day-to-day execution. From root cause analysis to structured methods like PDCA and A3, it all comes down to one thing: clear thinking.About Building Better:Building Better with Brandon Bartneck focuses on the people, products, and companies creating a better tomorrow, often in the transportation and manufacturing sectors. The show features real, human conversations exploring what leaders and innovators are doing, why and how they're doing it, and what we can learn from their experiences.Key Themes:You can't solve what you don't understandSpecifics matter more than abstractions when it comes to problem definitionAmbiguity creates unnecessary complexity and anxietySystematic frameworks only work when grounded in clear thinkingManufacturing lessons apply across leadership, strategy, and operationsShow Notes:brandonbartneck.com/buildingbetter/256Listen to the Episode:Apple PodcastsSpotify

In this short podcast episode, Bryan answers a listener-submitted question about using R-290 as a drop-in refrigerant for R-22 systems. It is NOT safe to use R-290 as a drop-in, but there are some similar properties between the two and some interesting thought experiments within this topic. R-290 is propane, a hydrocarbon that belongs to the family of natural refrigerants. R-22 is an HCFC refrigerant that has undergone a manufacturing/importation phaseout in the USA. They are both single-component refrigerants, not blends. Both of them have similar operating pressures and oil carry. However, the latent heat of vaporization of R-290 is almost double that of R-22, which makes it extremely effective as a refrigerant. The main issue with using R-290 is that it is highly flammable and explosive (A3), and it has very small charges (500 grams). Around 2010, some people started selling R-290 blends as drop-in alternatives for R-22. In theory, that combination would work very well, but it is not a safe or legal option. R-290 is currently used in sealed, self-contained equipment. However, it could be the future, especially if our industry goes for refrigerants with lower GWPs and uses flame-free fittings and tubing cutters. It's also worth noting that A2L refrigerants do not contain R-290 or any other hydrocarbons, but it is possible that the industry will gradually embrace the more flammable refrigerants like R-290.   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?
