Before seeking advice from any consulting firm, that is including SilentLean, make sure to apply common sense when dealing with obstacles, waste, bottlenecks, or pain points in your company.

“Always try to listen and understand first before giving advice.”     “Honor accomplishments of others with honest appreciation.”     “Try to become part of the solution.”     “Be sure to take jokes if making fun of others.”     “Stand your ground when dealing with colleagues or managers following the kiss-up-kick-down principle!”     “Don’t blame others too quickly like bad employees and managers do.”      “Live self-responsibility!”     “Good Lean Advisers make themselves redundant.“

Keep asking yourself if what you are doing just now helps the customer in ANY way. Contact SilentLean if you still think you need support…may your project be as small as it could be.
