Harriet Stein would like us to pay attention. Paying attention is an absolute necessity for lean practitioners – but it is not something we all find easy – or even know how to start practicing. Harriet kindly spent some time with me at the Edges of Lean explaining how to build our attentiveness skills and why improving them can improve our lean practices and our quality of life. Harriet is the author of “Perfect Attendance: Being Present for Life.
