Like instructions for "assembly required" projects, this book takes you one step at a time into creating a project that makes your work easier, better, and more satisfying. This book identifies the benefits of―and strategies for―developing engaged employees who will implement and sustain your Lean processes. You will learn and practice tools for creating and sustaining engagement and how to align your goals with your strategy, ensuring that your desired future becomes a reality. In addition, after reading this book, you’ll be able to: <ul>
<li>Recognize barriers to building engaged teams and individuals, and then select strategies for overcoming these hurdles. </li> <li>Practice communication and team relationship skills that will help you to nurture long-term process improvements. </li> <li>Gain information about key listening skills, as well as steps to enhance recognition systems. </li> </ul>

Hilarious and touching, this is an engaging memoir of sometimes-eccentric North Carolina mountain families from the discovery of the highest peak East of the Rockies (Mt. Mitchell, NC) and life in Blue Ridge Mountain logging camps in 1916. It runs through hard-scrabble but optimistic courtships and marriages during the Great Depression and World War II. Janis Allen tells brief stories which place readers in these olden times, then brings their life lessons, accents, tricks, and foods into the present.

This book, which takes the employees' perspective, illustrates what works and what doesn't work to engage, involve, and motivate a workforce. Through examples, it shows how the "engage" methodology links to the Lean Process. While focusing on the softer/"people" part of Lean, it maximizes the value returned on the organization's investment in Lean. It links "engagement" to measurable performance improvements. The how-to book includes a methodology overview and details on how to implement including communication do's and don'ts as well as a checklist for leader standard work (a tool for individual leaders to track and be recognized for their "engage, involve, and motivate" behaviors).
