Most amazing thing to me was Peter immediately owning the pan mistake. He didn't feel the need to cover his butt. Mistake made, acknowledged, and promise to fix it immediately. That speaks of a high level of security felt by the employees. Great leadership Paul!

Great meeting! I love the humbleness of everyone including you as the leader. Too many company owners in this world have too large of an ego to allow employees to critique them without their getting offended, especially in the entertainment business that we're in. The video not only demonstrates your skills in lean manufacturing, but also your skill in choosing the right people to work for you with NO drama.

I'm developing a new music product for a startup business and after I'm patent pending, I hope to visit your factory and meet you someday. I just read all of your lean books and you have inspired me to not only have a lean business, but a lean and healthier life also.

One question: How do you train the dogs to be tidy and lean? LOL.

Wishing you lots more success and good health!

A good, light-hearted, informative meeting. All appear comfortable and willing to have input. I love the freedom of the dogs. I think my two Malamutes would fill our office.

[MrWilkerson]

What a great benchmark for all of us to strive for as leaders. So many examples of growing people in an open communication forum - thank you for truly leading the way for most of us donkeys! I can tell you my morning meetings will change! Rock on!

Is it bad that all I can focus on is the empty hook on the guitar rack? As a Quality Manager at my company I appreciate having you as inspiration to keep fighting the LEAN fight. Awesome video! Thanks Paul!

[MrGabrielramosone]

Paul first of all thank you for your generosity in sharing your work. I run a small construction company that focus on full residential remolds. Tomorrow we start a new project and would love to start with a morning meeting. Do you have a written outline of the morning meeting that I can us as a starting point?
Also all my staff is Spanish speaking where can I find resources that i can then share with them? I have a VA that helps with translation but if you have resources already that would be great.
In reading your book you encourage people to make videos as well. Are you aware of any remolding companies that are sharing their process. In the last week I read The Lean Builder which had great information but you seem to have a greater emphasis on your staff and their growth as people which I am a huge proponent of.
Thanks again.

Fantastic meeting. Well done! and thanks for sharing

Hey Paul! I just finished watching this and was wondering what the reason for putting the gratefuls in the box?

[elmundodepepe]

Hi Paul, you say that you overproduced some screws so you have to sell them at a low price to get rid of them. My question is, how this happended? I thought lean is about producing under demand, is it because the 2000-3000 packs produced are the ones that you have ready just in case the costumer wants to buy them? Thank you very much!

Question; Kanban cards are the mainstay for reordering raw materials. Are the suppliers of the raw materials required to attach a Kanban card to the incoming supplies so as to assist in rapidly directioning the materials to the area requesting the materials?

Where are they doing those cart things?! I want that!

[dangelorrrr]

How many people were in this meeting?
I heard someone mention working at night. Do you have different shifts and if so, do they all have a similar meeting?

[mkultra]

I have been through a lot of these...(15 years of experience) This was the worst one I have seen.

How as the owner/leader do you enable your people to have that level of freedom to critique you (i.e. how he was calling you a hypocrite) yet you still retain the respect required of a leader?
