A lack of respect for people and the affects to productivity at work.
When people just read rude trigger words at work are 5X more likely to miss information, take longer to make decisions and make significantly more errors. If we want our trades to start sharing information we need to make civility a minimum expectation. Stress is the #1 reason people are not civil in the workplace. Positive affects on people when respect is demonstrated in the workplace: 56% Healther, 92% more focus, 55% more engaged. https://youtube.com/shorts/9lLqGTmDdQc?si=w-bgnnTw79QVzD_2

This is so true. The way we speak can easily take someone out of their window of tolerance, even if our message isn't meant to harm. Being kind goes a long way.

The word 'lean'
Thinking about part of our conversation last night; I feel like the word 'lean' has the tendency to immediately alienate folks or at the very least throw up a mental block. Are we lean? Are we not lean? What is that lean stuff? What do y'all think is a better word for how we use the word 'lean' now?

I think of LEAN as a philosophy more than practices. I think when LEAN is used as a set of practices, that’s when it becomes too rigid for most people. If you look at our base source, TPS, you can w those tools is various ways. Most people though think of LCI and having to do it exactly like them to be LEAN. Maybe we need to stop talking process, and starting talking about the ethos of LEAN.

If someone sings a truck talk we are taking this thing to the next level 😂. @James Gable this will brings the views way up. But real talk. Should we get our truck talks on other platforms too? Facebook/Tik Tok/Instagram?

Technical Foundation
Thinking about our conversation last night; everyone is all about this "AI" computer stuff now. From a foundational skillset/knowledge perspective what's one thing you'd make every FE (or entry level field manager) the "old school" way?

I’ve had a leader who says, “you need to know the rules before you break them”. AI is here to stay, but learning the basic, in the “old fashion way”, will only make your use of AI better. If your only relying on a tool to do the thinking for you, your not really building, your only checking boxes.

Welcome New 'Old Dawgs' and 'Lean Geeks'!!
Super huge welcome to all of the new 'Old Dawgs' and 'Lean Geeks'!! Best part is that you get to choose which one you are, but be careful becasue we will all be able to tell! Please don't tell me mine, I don't want to know! 😁🐶🤓 I would like to have a Welcoming Party this coming Thursday at 5:30 pm EST. I've made an event in Skool and we will use a zoom meeting to facilitate as I've not used Skool yet and would hate to be embarassed on our first meet and greet. Here is a link for the welcoming party! No pressure, we just want to meet the amazing people who are coming into the community!
