Work like a Life Adventure
For most of the people job is
similar to a galley..
“83 % of all the days in the year start the same:
with an alarm ring.”Brothers Strugatsky
Most of the leaders believe, that they are communicating with Russian burlаks, that’s why
business ship is drifting..
In life skepticism and cynicisms is cheap, because it is much easier and more boring than observing and enjoying life.
Brothers Strugatsky
Ship without happiness turns in to emotional ruins..
TOC knows a secret - if you do not have enough clients that means that you managed to sail your ship in to the bottle!
It does not matter how beautiful you look in it, from now it is managed by Captain Accident not by you.
Even greater secret - in the bottle is not only a ship but also each member of the crew..
When you get out of the bottle - you
become a Gin.
The Gin can fulfill 3 most desired wishes of the client.
A competitor who looks through the bottle glass can see only distorted view and cannot fulfill even the 3 most
simple wishes..
Russians are not the only ones who know that devil hides in the bottle!
A technique to become a Gin is very simple:
It is necessary to view at your business through
customers (employees or colleagues) eyes.
Fantasy – is a priceless thing, but you cannot give it a way in. Just to the outside, just to the outside.
Brothers Strugatsky
However there is one secret condition!
Someone has to free the energy, or in peoples language, someone has to
release the plug!
Everyone knows – the plug always plugs
the bottleneck.
This secret is disclosed like this - since the bottleneck is always at the bottles top,
therefore the systems constraint is usually in the management’s heads. Or, more
precisely speaking, created sometime long time ago as people management rules.
Energy needed for changes and adventures is acquired only in one secret recipe!
First recipe component: Management stops “strangling” subordinates and stops rulling according the rules from text
books about management;
Second component: leader looks in to employees eyes just like in to the eyes of a good and creative person;
Energy needed for changes and adventures is acquired only in one secret recipe!
And for the end – spices
Third most subtle component - Gins create like a Team, and not as a lonely stars! Only a Team of Gins can implement and fulfill unlimited desires of clients.
So that a person could escape the bottle – we already have a recipe.
But how to help escape the whole ship and crew?
For that we need extra magical ingredients
Six secret alchemical elements are engraved on E.Goldratt grave:
One, people are good.
Two, every conflict can be removed.
Three, every situation, no matter how complex it initially looks, is exceedingly simple.
Four, every situation can be substantially improved, even the sky is not the limit.
Five, every person can reach full (meaningful) life;
Six, there is always WIN-WIN solutions.
The seventh magic element added by Taichi Ohno,Toyota system creator:
So that the ship would be able to escape the bottle it needs to get rid of all types of MUDA (waste in English) constraining the throughput:
а) ) inventory overstock
б) big production or other type of batches
с) downtime for a variety of reasons
i.e., everything that makes the ship “fat” and sedentary (FAT) and not maximum lean (LEAN)
