What is the Leader Standard Work Template? I am active in continuous improvement but less so in the Lean and Six Sigma approaches and methodologies. Is this a standard template related to a specific methodology or a more general template? Thanks. Scott Vivek – Thank you for making a copy of the A3 template available to the public.

Perhaps there is place for one more method: To avoid wasting too much energy and attention, watch each distraction with only brief attention in stead of fighting it off, and know that it's only a natural distraction and not what you intended to do at this moment. After that return to carrying on with the task at hand as before you were distracted. Great article. Perhaps there is place for one more method:

So many people talk about Lean without getting the really important stuff about changing the world view. I had the great pleasure of seeing Tom speak when he visited the UK a couple of years ago - hugely insightful and inspirational. If you haven't read his book yet, I can thoroughly recommend it.
