“We focus so intently on task completion that we lose sight of the work we’re engaged in. We can’t see our options, our history, or our opportunities for collaboration. In the long run, working like this isn’t only counter-productive, it’s anti-productive.”

“Planning should occur with minimal waste; it shouldn’t become overhead.”

“Japanese industrialist and founder of Toyota Industries Sakichi Toyoda understood that problems often have nested causes. He wanted people to get past their preconceptions and “with a blank mind” get to the heart of the issue.7 He didn’t ask Why? once, or even twice. Repeat ‘why’ five times to every matter, he instructed, until you arrive at something with real context.”
