    You trust in your team. It's hard go do sometimes when you want to do something all by yourself.
    But it's the single most trajectory changer in my books.
    You don't get what you want mostly, and it would be lesser than what you hoped in some cases.
    But in other cases people will surprise you with things you didn't imagine yourself and that makes all the difference.

    Of course it bloody works. I cannot wrap my head around the mentality of just leaving things and not questioning the process. If business is your area then you should be looking to make it function as well as you can. I work in manufacturing operating machinery. The older guys have a kind of procedure that they never deviate from. Specific people do specific jobs and never stray outside this, even if there is something urgent needed elsewhere. When asked to do something they say "Dave does that", as if they're incapable of it!
    There are dozens of CNC programs for recurring jobs that were written hastily and waste a huge amount of time. It's infuriating. Plenty of opportunity for me to make significant improvements though.

    Interesting to consider that despite this talk of continuous improvement mindset, the culture that apple, from Lisa onwards, have tried to instill in customer base is one of never questioning or modifying their products until instructed to replace with latest infallible version... Whereas what IBM and Microsoft ended up creating was a user base who would tinker and improve and upgrade their products.

    this is the biggest difference between Japan and China. There were American quality consultants that went to Japan decades ago to assist in implementing quality improvement programs. Initially cars from Japan were poor quality/had a lot of issues. But fast forward a few years later Toyota and Honda make vast improvements. As well as many other Japanese manufacturers (electronics, optics, etc.) Steve realized after his Next computer company failed, that there is a limit to the number of consumers that are willing to pay more for quality products. People look at price first when it comes to a lot of consumer products, they will choose to purchase the cheaper brands. Except now you have NO choice except to buy products that are made in China, that includes premium name brands (American, European in particular) they are ALL made in China now. The only exception is a few limited models of Sub Zero Refrigerators (even some of their models are now made in China, apparently). I used to buy mid priced models of household appliances (refrigerators, washing machines, etc.) But given they no longer last 10 to 20 years like before, I just buy the cheapest brand/model and accept the fact, in most cases the appliances will no last longer then 3 to 5 years I don't even get upset anymore, nor will I bother hiring a appliance service repair company, its not worth spending $250+ for a product that costs $500 to $600 to purchase a new one.

    Improving things is good, but there is a counter to it, and that is changing things just for the sake of changing them. It is something that is often done by managers and leaders when they go into companies as they feel compelled to make a "difference", regardless of whether it improves things or not. If not controlled, they may makes things worse. That is why when someone comes in and starts asking questions, there also needs to be someone who questions them and sets expectations for the proposed improvement.

    • @cardinalRG
      @cardinalRG 8 місяців тому +1

      Well said, and I've always thought that a great example of change only for the sake of change, is an automobile's interior door handles and locking mechanisms. Why do they change from year to year, and differ completely among manufacturers? My guess is that it's a feature given to wet-behind-the-ears designers, as opposed to the juicy tasks the veterans get, like designing a body shape which of course needs to change often, to keep buyers interested. But the door handle engineer naturally wants to make a mark in the auto world, and aspires to create a design the likes of which no one has ever seen before, because...you know, the old design will just never do, will it? So as a result, I catch a ride home in a co-worker's car whose model is the same as mine, just two years newer. In the dark I can't find the door handle to let myself out. It becomes silly.

      The solution to what you describe is PDCA. Plan - do - check - act.
      You propose a change, you try it, you make sure it's an actual improvement, and then either you implement it or try something else. And there's a number of things that you can be measuring for as well, but most often is safety, speed, quality, and ease

    • @babybirdhome
      @babybirdhome 6 місяців тому +1

      @@vanguard6937It’s exactly this. Change is great - provided that the change makes an improvement. The only way to know if it made an improvement is to measure it. Measure the before and the after and compare them side by side. One will sometimes clearly win over the other. If it doesn’t, then consider the impact of making the change (people having to re-learn their work, potential loss of expertise in a known process, etc.) vs. not making the change. If the change is only a lateral shift, then strongly consider scrapping it and leaving things as is until the next idea for improvement. Meanwhile, continue to learn how to measure things better, because what you measure becomes what matters, and you want to make sure you’re measuring the correct things, or you’ll only encourage negative change, or the wrong priorities.
