BONUS: David Meier’s ”Favorite Mistakes” at Toyota and His Distillery

I don't always share new episodes of the "My Favorite Mistake" podcast with you here, but when I do... it's a Lean practitioner.

Today, that guest is David Meier, a former Toyota team member and leader, author of two https://amzn.to/3xPHcre with Jeffrey Liker, and a TPS/Lean consultant. Oh, and he has a great distillery in Kentucky now called Glenn's Creek Distillery.

Toyota / Lean topics include:

• More background about what you learned at Toyota
• Hard for people to talk about mistakes, admitting they're human
• Blame vs. responsibility? 
• Toyota teaches that leaders have responsibility 
• Blame with punishment = "accountability"?
• Punishment replaced with learning and improvement?
• Hard on the process, not on the people
• Mr. Yoshino's mix up with the paint area (Episode #30)
• My episode about the nearly lost episodes (Episode #16)
• Mistakes made in the distillery
• Mistakes about mistakes?
