Ep.1263 - The Right Order of the 8 Wastes, Feat. Adam Bean
In this podcast we cover:
- Advice for lean implementers.
- The right order to the 8 wastes.
What if we’ve been looking at waste all wrong?
In this powerful conversation with Adam “Beanie” Bean, we break down why unused potential, not overproduction, is the true root waste holding back our industry. Beanie shares his journey from apprentice boilermaker to project leader, how lessons from his father and rugby’s All Blacks shaped his thinking, and why autonomy, mastery, and purpose are the keys to unlocking teams. We dive into practical strategies like daily stand-ups, “say one, do one, teach one,” and creating community-driven improvement habits. If you’ve ever wondered how to get your team fully engaged, reduce chaos, and build projects that thrive, this is the conversation that will flip your perspective and fire up your leadership.
