Quotes by Jamie Flinchbaugh (?)

“Thinking drives behaviors. Behaviors drive action. Action drives results. No tool can fix poor thinking.”
― Jamie Flinchbaugh, A3 Problem Solving: Applying Lean Thinking

“In reality, 100 million drivers never sat in a 12-hour planning meeting together, nor do they report to the same boss; but they are able to navigate the nation's highways with less chaos than most 50-person departments. The next time you attend a meeting, note how much of the conversation focuses on the "what" versus the "how.”
