In this intriguing business novel, which illustrates state-of-the-art economic theory, Alex Rogo is a UniCo plant manager whose factory and marriage are failing. To revitalize the plant, he follows piecemeal advice from an elusive former college professor who teaches, for example, that reduction in the efficiency of some plant operations may make the entire operation more productive.

Story
When faced with problems, many business leaders and teams look for familiar and standard problem-solving methods, often creating unnecessary struggle, frustration, delay, and ineffectiveness in solving the problem - if it is ever solved at all! In other words, they keep reaching for the same old hammer as if every business problem were a nail.

Publisher's Summary
Every lean practitioner occasionally wishes for a simple, fun, and quick introduction to lean thinking to give acquaintances, associates, and family members, even to our kids. If lean thinking often entails unlearning a plethora of bad habits, wouldn’t it be better if we learned better thinking habits from the beginning?
Everything I Know About Lean I Learned in First Grade is just that sort of guide. It brings lean back to its original simplicity by showing how lean is alive in a first-grade classroom. The audiobook connects common lean tools to the broader lean journey, shows how to identify and eliminate waste, and aids the listener in seeing lean for what it truly is: a way to create a learning and problem-solving culture.
Made to educate the entire organization on the fundamentals of lean thinking, this is the perfect source to engage all team members at all levels of an organization. Originally self-published in 2008, LEI is proud to reissue this title and make it available to the broader lean community.
