Jake Harrell's Linkedin Analytics

If you are reading this, most likely I KNOW what you are thinking. Some variety of the following Funniest Lean guy, huh? The Lady Gaga of Lean, um......excuse me? Well let me try and share some perspective on why the brand, the man, and the method exists in the first place. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, I CONSTANTLY look for ways to relate to people. Well one thing almost everybody loves is a good laugh. As I continue my journey toward putting Lean into the world, I had a crazy thought. Why not connect the two? I am a sucker for a good process. After growing a career in various leadership roles, it became extensively clear that business results have a direct relationship to human behavior. One of my core strengths is creating an environment that makes it really clear how to win, then CONVICTING you, SEDUCING you, into wanting the win. I've had the opportunity over my career to navigate organizational psychology, team dynamics, and steer outcomes toward a happy medium between business results, and the human condition. I LOVE creative, innovative, low or no cost solutions. If you use paper to solve anything in your business, we need to talk! Advice, collaboration, discussion, perspective, problem solving, can all be had for a decent dinner spot and a good mojito (especially mango!) My career started in hospitality, shifted to manufacturing, then third party logistics. In that time, I have climbed both the social and corporate ladders by being a relatable human being. Full of flaws, shortcomings, and all that comes with being a part of humanity. I openly share the secret sauce to business success, and I will write it below for the whole world to see, free of charge. (Do consider the mojito comment above, however) The secret - 1. Want to solve the problem more than everyone else in the room 2. Stop at nothing to gain clarity around the problem (and clarity for your business partners) 3. Socratically get the team to identify a solution 4. Do WHATEVER IT TAKES to implement that solution RIGHT NOW! I have pinned an article on my LinkedIn profile if you would like to know the basics on "the Rate of Acceptance" within a team. I have written a book about how to solve problems, by reframing and standardizing your problem solving strategy. https://www.amazon.com/Chasing-Excellence-Jake-Harrell/dp/0578727773 Do reach out at your earliest convenience!:)
