Gemba Academy Podcast Guest Appearance: Improving Family Life with Lean

June 5, 2014 by Joel A. Gross 2 Comments

I recently had the honor of appearing on the Gemba Academy podcast hosted by Ron Pereira.  In the 40 minute interview, Ron, himself a father of 6, and I discuss the challenges of raising a big family and how Lean thinking and continuous improvement can be applied in home and in family life to conquer the chaos. 

After taking a deep dive into my household, we also discuss some more traditional Lean-related topics such as:

  • My favorite Lean quote (did you know Walt Disney was a Lean thinker?)
  • What Repsect for People means to me
  • The best advice I have ever received
  • Some of my personal productivity habits
  • The social aspects of Lean organizations
  • My favorite books

 Or you can listen to the interview through the Gemba Academy blog or via the Gemba Academy podcast on Stitcher or iTunes. 

Show notes, containing links to pictures of our Lean @ Home systems as well as everything else that we discussed during the show, can be viewed here. 

I’d love to know your thoughts on the interview!  Please post your comments below, or contact me on twitter via @TheKaiZone.
