In manufacturing, there’s an approach called “Kaizen.” “Kaizen” is a Japanese word that means “change for better.”
It combines the collective talents in a company to improve processes. Typically, the focus is on a specific area of the business to improve – such as production, maintenance, customer service, etc.
But rarely do companies focus on “kaizen-ing” LEADERSHIP itself.
Imagine an HR Mgr who spends one hr/day crunching data to share a comprehensive Excel report with a group of leaders who NEVER EVEN LOOK AT IT.
That’s 5 hrs/wk, 20 hrs/mo, 240 hrs/yr of WASTED EFFORT & yes-this is a REAL example.
And that’s just ONE task by ONE mgr.
