“Everyone wants everyone else to change.” That is the fundamental reason why most organizational transformations fail. Leaders want their people to exhibit behaviors that they don’t exhibit themselves. Team members feel powerless to make significant change just because of where they are situated on the organization chart.

Improvement Starts with I provides you with a framework to change this through a simple five-step plan that, when followed, will deliver outstanding engagement, improvement, and results, helping you avoid the potholes into which countless other companies have fallen.

Lean is at the core of our approach, but not the dry, boring lean you might be familiar with. This is people-centric lean, with heart!

To really provide a jumpstart to your lean journey, Tom has included links to the material that he uses to coach teams through all the key concepts. All open-source and free to use.

Whether you are the CEO or the new starter at your organization, these insights can be the difference between frustration or a joyful experience of personal and organizational transformation. A phenomenal lean culture can be yours when you understand that...Improvement Starts with I.
