The Power of Persuasion

Written by Jason Haines “Persuasion is often more effectual than force.” -Aesop For many years I never thought about things that that didn’t apply to myself or my work. Matter of fact, I thought things that needed to be addressed were someone else’s problem and not mine. Much of my life was based in areas of coercion and manipulation by others to get me worked up and or guide me to their way of thinking, while at the same time allowing me no time to research or think it through. It was always “hurry up

Busyness

Written by Jason Haines “We become so caught up in the busyness of our lives. Were we to step back, however, and take a good look at what we’re doing, we may find that we have immersed ourselves in the “thick of thin things.” In other words, to often we spend our time taking care of the which do not really matter much at all in the grand scheme of things, neglecting those more important causes.” -Thomas S. Monson The area I come from people always had, and many still do, a habit of calling other people

Assumptions

Written by Jason Haines “…be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. Be not rash with thy mouth and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let words be few.” -Ecclesiastes 5:1-2 KJV Over the past few years, I have started a journey to learn and find information rather than jumping to conclusions on many things. I am on a journey that is not always going to be perfect, as not

My Why

Written by Jason Haines “Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” -Matthew 10 5:7 I am just going to say it right up front, the reason that I got into Lean was because I wanted to provide a way to free up time for the people working for me, and myself, so that I could develop people for future positions in the company. What I’ve wanted to do

Standard Work

Written by Jason Haines “If you think of standardization as the best that you know today, but which is to be improved tomorrow; you get somewhere.” -Henry Ford Many times, we walk into an organization, whether it be as a consultant or new employee, and find time and time again that there is no standard work anywhere in the facility. There are KPI sheets, SOPs (that no one looks at except in ISO audits), slogan banners, and other miscellaneous, ineffective materials that do not focus on helping employees
