Rather than just “asking why five times (well, maybe four or just three this time)” or “walking the gemba (again...sigh),” you’re approaching the challenges and opportunities in front of you with genuine interest and a sense of adventure. Not only will this yield the best results (reduced waste, increased customer value, and more), you’ll have a lot more fun and be a happier person.
