    Book Review - Accidentally Aligned with Jason Neal

    A shop floor comment stops everyone in their tracks: the work finally matches what the customer actually needs. That is the spark behind Accidentally Aligned, and it opens a bigger issue most leaders dodge: alignment does not come from posters, audits, or a new playbook. It comes from how leaders behave when the process is broken, and the numbers are ugly. Mark and today's guest, Jason Neal, get into the messy middle of transformation: earning trust at the Gemba, protecting dignity when tempers flare, and dealing with the damage caused by "Lean policing." They also tackle a practical trap that shows up everywhere: leaders say they want engagement, then they take away overtime without replacing it with a better system. The result is predictable. So is the fix. If you are trying to keep momentum after the first wave of kaizen, this episode gives you language and moves you can use on Monday morning. Timestamps: 00:06:48 - Accidentally aligned with the customer voice 00:10:24 - Respect for people when the process fails 00:22:38 - Trust as the foundation for Lean sustainment 00:22:51 - When the Lean office becomes an audit function 00:23:37 - Losing credibility by switching to policing behavior 00:25:33 - Stopping disrespect before it becomes normal 00:34:54 - Turning overtime into kaizen time without breaking trust 00:35:12 - Why cutting overtime first backfires

    Are You Set Up to Win? - Find Out Here!

    Most Lean efforts do not stall because people hate improvement. They stall because the system was never built to support it.

You will learn how to recognize common traps that keep Lean efforts stuck, why certain measurement habits create the wrong behavior, and how to distinguish capability building from project theater. By the end, you will have a sharper way to assess your structure, roles, support functions, and operating rhythm, so you can stop guessing and start fixing what is really holding you back. Timestamp highlights 00:02:03 - Calling Lean a "program" is a red flag 00:05:09 - Under-resourced Lean office becomes admin, not a capability builder 00:08:43 - Lean leaders too low in the org cannot move mountains 00:09:55 - Combining Lean with a line role guarantees Lean loses 00:12:03 - Lean office should develop problem solvers, not rack up project points 00:18:36 - Lean audits signal inexperience and tool worship 00:22:54 - One standard problem-solving method beats a mix of A3 8D and random playbooks 00:28:32 - Hino Motors got nine implemented suggestions per person per month by building in time and support 00:32:14 - Value streams in name only when functions still control decisions and measures
