It is a very liberating and powerful thing when people are allowed to do their job outside, or despite the political environment and internally accepted limitations. I often see "neutered" Lean experts who have tons to offer, but are restricted by self or others from really contributing at the levels they could. In my experience it's not usually a lack of book knowledge, but rather a "culture of continuous stagnation" and negativity that holds people back as much as anything. Too much punishment for shaking things up. People can only take so much and they just give up. All the Best, Bill Good Response,
