Movie Clips that make you go, Lean?!?! --The Hobbit-Good Morning Scene

I may be a little behind on the movie scene, but last weekend I watch The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey with my kids.  Next to the scenes with Gollum, the scene that I enjoyed the most was the "good morning" scene towards the beginning of the movie.  I was waiting (and hoping) for Gandalf to break into a full lesson on the importance of simple standardized language and communications and/or Simple English, etc.  Or he could have 'dropped' the quote from George Bernard Shaw, "the single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place."  Yet, it was quite entertaining as it was.  I was pleased that I found this movie clip.  Enjoy.  - M

"The first follower is what transforms a ‘lone nut’ into a leader." - Derek Sivers | Great Stuff: TED Video, How to Start a Movement

This TED video has been out for a while now, but it never gets old.  Derek Sivers does a great job narrating/presenting.  A great, short watch!  - M

Great stuff: Recorded Webinar--"A Roadmap to Lean Healthcare Success" from LEI and John Toussaint, MD

Yesterday I re-watched this webinar from LEI and John Toussaint, MD (originally from back in mid April) with a group of healthcare leaders.  The presentation hits all the 'high points' very well.  It's nice having resources like these available for free.  It sure adds support to my messages on the topic when someone like Dr. Toussaint is saying basically the same thing.  Hats off to LEI and those Lean leaders out there drawing on these free resources to advance their Lean journey.

Great Stuff: The Lean Management System Workshop with Joe Murli (YouTube)

You said it Joe!

I love listening to how others present the concept and content of the Lean Management System.  Although an 'advertisement' for the workshop, this video provides the viewer with a great overview-outline of the Lean Management System.....value for the customer even before they sign-up!  - M

Great Image: Sloan vs. Lean Management

I love this image for comparing Sloan Management style to Lean Management style.

Great Stuff from Godin: Overcoming the impossibility of amazing

Great blog post from Seth Godin: Overcoming the impossibility of amazing

Sounds a lot like the Lean saying, "don't let perfect get in the way of better."

I particularly like the last line from Godin, "There's a big difference between not settling and not starting."
