Has your organization tried Lean already? If so, you surely see and feel the Joy of Lean in your workplace now, right?Don t worry. If you re not quite to joy yet, you re not alone.

The useful ideas of eliminating waste and driving greater efficiency can pick up a negative spin, with perceptions of job cuts, employees doing more with less, and managers squeezing more productivity from each person. None of that sounds very joyful.
