My guest for Episode #266 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is D. Lynn Kelley, the author of Change Questions: A Playbook for Effective and Lasting Organizational Change (with John Shook). Episode page with video, transcript, and more Lynn currently serves as a senior advisor to BBH Capital Partners. Following a career highlighted by leadership roles in engineering, supply chain, and continuous improvement in various industries, Kelley retired from Union Pacific Railroad in 2018. At Union Pacific, she was senior vice president of supply chain and continuous improvement. She was also the executive co-owner of the company's innovation program.  Before joining Union Pacific, Kelley was vice president of operational excellence, an officer and a member of the executive leadership team at Textron.  Kelley holds a PhD in evaluation and research and taught undergraduate and graduate statistics courses. Before becoming a professor, she held the positions of executive vice president and chief operating officer of Doctors Hospital in Detroit. In this episode, Lynn discusses her journey of learning from mistakes, the importance of change management, and how fostering a culture of psychological safety can drive innovation and continuous improvement. Lynn also reflects on her experiences in healthcare and manufacturing, highlighting the critical role of effective leadership and communication in successful organizational change. Questions and Topics: When you mentioned it was before it was referred to as lean, were people calling it the Toyota Production System or just Japanese management practices? As Textron integrated these companies, did they standardize or adjust the metrics for the French plants to include quality and safety? What were your other key takeaways from your experience in France, especially regarding metrics and relationship building with plant managers? Could you share your experiences as a leader in healthcare and how they compare to your roles in other industries, particularly in terms of change management? What prompted you to write "Change Questions," and what was the inspiration behind it? How would the methodologies in your book have helped you during your time at Textron or Union Pacific? How do you cultivate psychological safety to encourage people to ask questions, push back, or bring new ideas during change initiatives? How did you change your approach to giving feedback to make it more effective, and were you ever coached on this? How do you compare continuous improvement and innovation? Are there different ways to manage change for larger-scale innovations? What are some of your thoughts or experiences on cultivating an environment where people feel safe to suggest changes or improvements? What lessons did you learn about balancing the need to fit into an environment versus realizing it might not be a good fit for you? How do you intentionally manage change when it comes to bigger innovations?

This is part 3 of the 2006 speech given by Rockwell Collins CEO, Clay Jones. I worked at Rockwell Collins from 1999-2017, and was heavily involved in the Lean Electronics program. In this clip, you'll hear him discuss why they brought in some external consultants like John Shook and Denny Mead to try and figure out why all the improvements were not showing an impact on the bottom-line results or other key metrics. The RC Scorecard was developed to give a balanced view across the company, and it included a critical metric, called Cost of Nonconformance (CONC), which I was heavily involved with. He also discusses how leadership needed to become more engaged in value stream mapping to help drive the right improvements in the right areas by following the new "Lean Roadmap."

This edition of Rail Group on Air spotlights the recently released change management book, Change Questions, by noted executive D. Lynn Kelley Ph.D. with prominent internationally known Lean Management expert John Shook. The pace of organizational change has been increasing. Unfortunately, most change activities fail to deliver anticipated results and those that do often fail to sustain. The Change Questions book addresses these critical issues by providing a proven process with a strong record of sustainment that can be used by anyone responsible for implementing organizational change. The book includes a case study with examples and stories of transformation at Union Pacific Railroad during an eight-year period. Using the Change Questions resulted in a dramatic increase in operational performance and a 96% sustainment rate over hundreds of change initiatives. Lynn Kelley and Railway Age Contributing Editor Sonia Bot, Chief Executive of the BOT Consulting Group Inc., join Railway Age Editor-in-Chief William C. Vantuono for this podcast.

Welcome to another installment of my author interview series. I am really excited to talk with Dr. Lynn Kelley about her new book “Change Questions” and to explore the writing process. Please enjoy some of the highlights from this interview. How did you and John Shook come to collaborate on creating this book out of the change questions you'd been using? (3:40) The book is inspired by you learning from failure. Could you share with us one of the “failures” that really stuck with you and that helped influence how you lead change? (9:21) Where do you advise change leaders to start with these change questions? (13:50) Could you share a little bit about your personal change experience and how that helped you learn how to lead change even more effectively when working with others? (16:33) What have you learned through the process of writing the book (and perhaps in the collaboration with John as part of that process) that helped you understand the change questions differently? (22:52) How did you resolve that for yourself? (25:50) I love that you have a workbook that accompanies the book to really make it an interactive and reflective learning experience. Can you share with us how you came to integrate the workbook into the book and its purpose? (27:16) What's one question that I haven't asked here, or you're not usually asked about the book or about leading change that you would like to ask yourself and answer? (30:30) You can read the full blog on my website at https://kbjanderson.com/author-interview-lynn-kelley and enter the giveaway if you are tuning in before May 31st, 2023.

Mark Graban & Jamie Flinchbaugh Alternative title: “I'll have a half-caff no-whip soy-milk chestnut praline latte… to-go” Episode page with video and links In Episode 37, we wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays with some new (to us) holiday cocktails. Mark tries the Bourbon Flip, and Jamie makes a Hot Buttered Bourbon. Neither will likely be in our regular rotation of cocktails, but they suit the “spirit” of the holiday season and might be a nice treat to make for guests.  Your hosts explore the possible reinvention of Starbucks, which began with the return of CEO Howard Schultz. The stores have faced numerous pressures…increasing volume, increasing complexity, and growing barista dissatisfaction. Can these challenges be overcome by lean applied at the store level, or are more structural changes and innovations needed to get the job done? We explore a recent Wall Street Journal article about Starbucks' transformation and walk back to the beginnings of their lean journey over 10 years ago. Some of the problem statements examined: SKU proliferation, new blenders, and store layouts. We may start seeing a brand new layout for Starbucks stores, although the promised improves do not appear to be imminent.  The hosts finish by exploring gift giving in the whiskey, and wine, genre, including a book recommendation from Mark on the history of the prohibition era in the US.  Links From the Show: Ted Stiles from Stiles Associates David Meier's Glenn's Creek Distilling Toyota's Georgetown, Kentucky plant Four Roses' hot buttered bourbon recipe Used Mellow Corn Bottled in Bond for hot buttered bourbon Bourbon Flip recipe Made with Benchmark Bonded bourbon Mark's 2nd pour, a Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 10 Heavily Peated  WSJ article Starbucks is Rethinking Almost Everything  WSJ wrote about lean at Starbucks in 2009, and the same year, John Shook wrote about it for LEI Starbucks' 3-day strike LEI's 2020 book about lean at Starbucks, Steady Work Book on the history of prohibition: Last Call Podcast feed at LeanWhiskey.com or leanblog.org/leanwhiskey or jflinch.com/leanwhiskey

We've been on hiatus over the summer here, so I've taken a look back at some of the older episodes from the podcast archives, while being on a bit of a hiatus from recording new episodes. New episodes will be coming again in September Today we're looking back at the episode that I did with John Shook. It was Episode #56, released in January 2009. I hope you enjoy our discussion -- I think it's just as relevant today as it was then even though his book Managing to Learn has been available for more than a decade (it was new when we did this episode). I had a chance to talk with John a few months back and I'm hoping to do a new episode with him sometime soon.

Roy L Hales/ CKTZ News -Cortes Island is in the midst of a level four drought. There have been worse dry periods in the instrumental records, much worse according to a University of Victoria study of tree ring data, and most likely more severe droughts in the years to come. “Summer is very typically a very dry time of year for the Island, as well as for the Gulf Islands. The problem is that because we didn't get the Spring rains, we're starting at a level that is lower than what it would be within a typical year,” said Ashlee Jollymore, a Hydrologist with the Water Management Branch in Victoria >>> Shallow wells Some of Cortes Island's shallow well owners are approaching a critical point. John Preston describes the situation in terms of the Island's aquifer. “When we moved to Cortes Island, 18 years ago, a dear architect friend who looked over this property for us said, ‘you will need water.” “I said, ‘Okay. we'll drill a well.'” “He said, ‘Please do not drill a well. Have a high quality surface well. Every well we drill now ultimately weakens our long term water aspect.'” Preston agreed and now has a 27' deep surface well, but the water situation appears to be worsening. The marshland above his property used to remain swamp all year round; now it is dry during the summer. Preston has been dealing with water shortages every summer for the past five years. This is the worst. The water shortages he usually deals with in late August is already here. “We are four weeks early in our water deprivation and there is a chance our water deprivation will go longer into the Fall than usual,” he said. “We may have to close down our business.” He has two choices: drilling a well (and hope the aquifer won't fail) or moving to a rainwater catchment system. >>> Rainwater catchment His friends Kristen Schofield-Sweet and John Shook have been dependent on a catchment system for 31 years. “Of course at that time, we didn't know about climate change or that rainwater would become an issue. We are, if anything, more pleased now that we have that system, rather than feeling anxious and alarmed that somehow we've misjudged and are going to run out of water,” said Schofield Sweet. One of their small concrete cisterns is dry and the water level is low in the second, but their big 3,000 gallon cistern is untouched. The cisterns were partially dug into the earth, which means the water is always cold. As the system is gravity fed, it is also impervious to power shortages. It supplies all of their needs except drinking water, which they obtain at the Gorge Marina.

John Shook learned about lean management while working for Toyota for 11 years in Japan and the U.S., helping it transfer production, engineering, and management systems from Japan to NUMMI and other operations around the world. While at Toyota's headquarters, he became the company's first American kacho (manager) in Japan. In the U.S., Shook joined Toyota's North American engineering, research and development center in Ann Arbor, Michigan as general manager of administration and planning. His last position with Toyota was as senior American manager with the Toyota Supplier Support Center in Lexington, Kentucky, assisting North American companies adopt the Toyota Production System. Shook co-authored Learning to See, the book that introduced the world to value-stream mapping. He also co-authored Kaizen Express, a bi-lingual manual of the essential concepts and tools of the Toyota Production System. With Managing to Learn, Shook revealed the deeper workings of the A3 management process that is at the heart of Toyota's management and leadership.

John Shook - Wednesday Evening, January 13, 2021 by First Baptist Church of Hammond

Massimo and Julia visit Indianapolis for a heated debate, in this live episode of Rationally Speaking. At a symposium organized by the Center for Inquiry (CFI), they join up with John Shook, Director of Education and Senior Research fellow at the CFI, and the author of more than a dozen books on philosophy and religion. Sparks fly as the three debate questions like: Should science-promoting organizations, like the National Center for Science Education, claim publicly that science is compatible with religion? And is philosophy incapable of telling us anything about the world? Sped up the speakers by ['1.0', '1.0']

She expands on the five guiding principles they developed and explains how these insights were gleaned from healthcare organizations. The principles provide guidance for any chief architect in any organization looking for traction with their lean work.   You can download a free copy of the paper here.   Download a transcript of the conversation here.  Learn from top healthcare leaders who are transforming their organizations through lean thinking and practice, including, Lisa Yerian, MD, Chief Improvement Officer at the Cleveland Clinic, and John Shook, senior advisor to the Lean Enterprise Institute  Kimberly Eng, Chief Operating Officer, Lynn Community Health Center, and Kiame Mahaniah, MD, Chief Executive Officer, Lynn Community Health Center  Jack Billi, MD, Medical Director, Collaborative Quality Initiatives, and Professor of Medicine, Public Health, and Engineering, University of Michigan Carlos Frederico Pinto, M.D. (aka Dr. Fred); CEO; Instituto de Oncologia do Vale (IOV) Get more details about and register for the Virtual Lean Learning Experience 2020.

Research states that "46% of all improvement initiatives fail because of lack of leadership."1 Having too many Level One Leaders will kill your Lean transformation. Here is how to identify them! Much has already been written on Lean Leadership. Jim Womack and John Shook at the Lean Enterprise Institute (LEI) describe the evolution of leadership models as going from ‘Do it my way' (old Dictator style) to ‘Do it your way' (1980s Empowerment style) to ‘Follow me … and let's figure this out together' (Lean style). This week's blog focuses on the ‘Do it my way' style, John Maxwell's Level 1 Leader who people follow because they have to. Level 1: Position This is the lowest level of leadership—the entry-level. People who only make it to Level 1 may be bosses, but they are never leaders. They have subordinates, not team members. They rely on rules, regulations, policies, and organization charts to control their people. Their people only follow them within the stated boundaries of their authority. Position is the only level that does not require ability and effort to achieve. Anyone can be appointed to a position. This means that position is a fine starting point, but every leader should aspire to grow beyond Level 1. Level One LeadersKathy Caprino, in a recent Forbes blog, “Six Behaviors That Will Block Your Leadership Success,” describes six behaviors of a leader that will stymie your success as a leader and crush the potential of your team. These behaviors are often found in Level 1 leaders and need to be solved to move up to the next level of leadership, Level 2: Permission. These are the six fundamental behavior shifts essential for Level 1 leaders. See the blog for the chart! Leadership Assessment2Read the following ten statements and place a checkmark next to each one you agree is true for you. Answer using your first instinct. Please do not skip questions, and do not go back and change any of your responses. Level 1 I don't have to remind the people who work for me I am the leader. I think of each person who works for me as a person, not just in terms of his or her function or role. Most days I look forward to going to work. I recognize that the position I've been given is an opportunity to learn, not turf to be guarded. The people who work for me will work above and beyond their job descriptions. I know that dealing with people's problems is a part of leading and have accepted that as part of the job. I possess the desire to learn more about leadership and become a better leader. I think of my job in terms of work to be accomplished and give very little focus on the career path and the positions I desire to achieve along the way. One of my primary objectives is to assist the people who work for me. Most people find it easy to work with me. If you marked eight or more of the previous statements as true for you, then you have probably already established yourself as a leader on Level 1 and have moved to the higher levels. Congratulations! 2- 5 levels of Leadership; John Maxwell As always it is an honor serving you and I hope that you and your company are getting better every day! http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1499224100 (Rate and Review Here) More show notes are https://americanlean.com/blog/the-cobots-are-coming/ (here) https://americanlean.com/contact/ (Schedule a free 1/2 call) with Tom Reed.https://www.amazon.com/dp/1645162818 (Buy) the Lean Game Plan Follow me on https://twitter.com/dailyleancoach (Twitter@dailyleancoach)Join me on https://my.captivate.fm/www.linkedin.com/in/tomreedamericanlean (Linked In)

Dr. Craig debates Dr. John Shook on the subject of God's existence, Naturalism, and Supernaturalism.

Former Starbucks Executive and Senior Coach at LEI Scott Heydon, joined author and LEI Chairman John Shook for a last minute learning session at the Lean Coaching Summit.  The response was so positive we've adapted it to be a podcast.

Two things to think about. Challenges and Culture. Challenges shape who we are. I think we can all look at who we are and remember a few key challenges we’ve faced and how they have changed us and the way we view things. It certainly helps shape us as leaders. Dr. Kiame Mahaniah, CEO of the Lynn Community Health Clinic. Born in the Congo, raised in Switzerland, educated in the US, Kiame faced remarkable challenges, was immersed in multiple cultures, and has come out of all as a remarkable, yet humble leader that is focused on building consensus instead of being a top down iron fisted CEO. Dr. Mahaniah was kind enough to sit down with LEI’s Chairman, John Shook to talk about growing up in different cultures, from the Congonese to the Quakers, and how he became a CEO in an organization trying to become lean, and helped keep that movement going. Which is something that typically ends lean’s progress in an organization.

Author and and LEI faculty member Mike Orzen discuss connecting with people through leading with respect with John Shook.  The conversation primarily focuses on what mindfulness is and how it fits in with lean thinking and practice. Mike also gives some great tips on staying focused when you catch yourself getting distracted.

On this episode, I welcome Dr. John Shook to discuss his book "The God Debates", morality, and an atheist approach to the paranormal and supernatural.

Tracey and Ernie Richardson, authors of the Toyota Engagement Equation join John Shook on the main stage at the Lean Transformation Summit in Nashville.

20 years ago the book Learning to See was published, bringing with it the concept of Value Stream Mapping. Now 20 years later the book is still a best seller and Value Stream Mapping is the cornerstone of lean thinking. Jim Womack, the publisher of the book sits down with John Shook one of the book's authors to talk about what it took to make such a pioneering publication. John and Jim also discuss the book Managing to Learn which explored A3 creation and coaching.

In this fifty-fifth episode of the Philosophy Bakes Bread radio show and podcast, Anthony and Eric talk about “Evaluating Public Philosophy,” in an episode based upon their recently co-authored paper, titled “Lessons Learned Baking Bread.” In this episode and in our paper, Anthony and Eric propose four criteria by which public philosophy can be evaluated: substance, accessibility, invitingness, and community building. Anthony and Eric presented this paper in the summer of 2017 at the Future of Philosophical Practice conference at UNC Asheville, in the beautiful hills of Asheville, North Carolina. We are grateful to Brian Butler for hosting a great event there, as well as for all the great feedback that we received at the event.

What is naturalism? For episode six, I take up this broad topic in conversation with John Shook, a research associate in philosophy and instructor in science education for the University at Buffalo. Dr. Shook holds a Ph.D in philosophy from the University at Buffalo, served as professor of philosophy at Oklahoma State University from 2000-2006, Read More The post AA006 – What is Naturalism? with John Shook appeared first on Godless Haven.

http://leanblog.org/audio63 I've been intrigued by the "Lean Startup" movement since I first saw Eric Ries speak at MIT back in late 2009. I've read his book The Lean Startup, have attended a bunch of the conferences (speaking at two of them - see video of one). I've interviewed Eric on my podcast series (listen here and here).There's a lot to learn and apply in life and at KaiNexus. I'm by no means an expert in Lean Startup approaches... but at the core, Lean is Lean. Eric gives credit to Taiichi Ohno in his book (and listen to us discuss that here). I'm excited to have been named a "faculty member" to help plan thisyear's Lean Startup Conference, to be held in San Francisco this November. My role is to help identify and recruit speakers to talk about "traditional Lean" -- the universal Lean philosophies and management practices that apply in factories, healthcare, startups, etc. Sort of like what John Shook talked about last year. So, I hope to see you there! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lean-blog-audio/support

With a long history at the Lean Enterprise Institute, John brings an incredibly rich view of innovation in the corporate world. As our community pushes Lean Startup ideas forward, he brings a valuable ability to ground our greater understanding.

My guest for Episode 188 has been a leading voice in the Lean community for 25 years, Daniel T. Jones, founder and chairman of the Lean Enterprise Academy, based in the UK. Dan collaborated with Jim Womack on the books The Machine That Changed the World, Lean Thinking, and Lean Solutions and published other books through the LEA. Currently, Dan is helping promote Lean in healthcare and government and is learning about the Lean Startup community by becoming an advisor to the company Elastera. He has also recently joined Twitter as @DanielJonesLean.

This podcast is produced by The Lean Startup Conference, December 9 - 11, 2013 in San Francisco. Visit leanstartup.co for more information. Speakers: Eric Ries and John Shook Although people sometimes think the “lean” part of Lean Startup refers to bootstrapping a company, it actually refers to the lean production systems pioneered decades ago by Toyota. John Shook, CEO of the Lean Enterprise Institute–the MIT spinoff that resulted from the research that coined the term “lean”–will join Eric for a conversation on the origins of the idea, how it relates to Lean Startup practices today and how understanding the connection can make your company’s approach much more profitable. More than just a theoretical discussion, this webcast will include deep insights for advanced entrepreneurs. John and Eric’s conversation will be followed by live Q&A with the webcast attendees, so come with your questions in mind.

Massimo and Julia visit Indianapolis for a heated debate, in this live episode of Rationally Speaking. At a symposium organized by the Center for Inquiry (CFI), they join up with John Shook, Director of Education and Senior Research fellow at the CFI, and the author of more than a dozen books on philosophy and religion. Sparks fly as the three debate questions like: Should science-promoting organizations, like the National Center for Science Education, claim publicly that science is compatible with religion? And is philosophy incapable of telling us anything about the world?

Guest Host: John Shook Recently, the Center for Inquiry held a conference titled "Daniel Dennett and the Scientific Study of Religion: A Celebration of the Fifth Anniversary of Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon". During that conference, John Shook, CFI's Director of Education, sat down with Dennett for this interview. 

John and I discuss a variety of naturalistic perspectives.

Host: Robert Price Our guest is philosopher and author John Shook, discussing his experiences debating religious believers and whether such debates are a good idea. Some say no, that such spectacles merely serve believers by making it look like atheists take them more seriously than they deserve. Others say yes, because debates provide a precious opportunity to introduce believers to atheistic arguments they might otherwise never hear. Price and Shook compare notes about debating superstar apologist William Lane Craig, discuss interesting insights on Presuppositionalism and Postmodernism, and talk about Dr. Shook's new book, The God Debates: A 21st Century Guide for Atheists and Believers (and Everyone in Between), an introduction to major issues in the philosophy of religion, as well as debate topics old and new.

Episode #56 of the podcast is a discussion with John Shook, one of my absolute favorite people in the Lean world. The few times I've seen John present or had the chance to chat in person, I've learned more in that amount of time than from anyone else, so I'm thrilled to have him here. John has a new book, published by the Lean Enterprise Institute, about the "A3" problem solving process called Managing to Learn: Using the A3 Management Process to Solve Problems, Gain Agreement, Mentor, and Lead. John also has a new blog on the LEI website, which is exciting to see. In the podcast, we discuss the story behind the book and some thoughts on how to get started with A3 thinking from scratch in your organization.

Among his current responsibilities are the Center for Inquiry’s Naturalism Research Project and the expansion of the Center’s Jo Ann Boydston Library of American Philosophical Naturalism.In this discussion with D.J. Grothe, Shook describes the relationship of naturalism to the worldview based upon the sciences. He explores whether the sciences necessarily lead to naturalism, and to what extent the sciences can yield truth about human morality and the good life. He details a recent debate he had with the famous Christian philosopher William Lane Craig, and responds to some of Craig's challenges against naturalism and arguments in support of supernaturalism. And he examined what possible meaning (ultimate and otherwise) human life can have if there is no supernatural, "cosmic" significance.
