Ep.1507 - Lean Is Not Compatible w Throwing People away

from Elevate Construction · host Jason Schroeder

In this episode, Jason Schroeder dives into a powerful realization about Lean and the concept of throwing people away. He challenges the belief systems that support the idea of people being expendable, whether it's in capitalism, religion, or societal structures. By tying Lean to a deeper respect for humanity, Jason explains why Lean cannot succeed in environments that perpetuate disrespect, and how this toxic mindset is preventing Lean from thriving in the United States. What you'll learn in this episode: Why Lean is incompatible with the idea of throwing people away. The harmful impact of toxic capitalism, religious beliefs, and societal systems on Lean adoption. How respect for people is at the core of Lean's success. The role of institutions and beliefs in creating waste and hindering progress. Why companies that truly care for people are the only ones successfully implementing Lean. What steps can you take today to start respecting the value of every individual and eliminate the mindset that people are expendable?
